Summary: Universal story of coming of age and coming home
Comment: A moving memoir of a young vet's odyssey through the despair and disillusionment of serving in an unpopular war, to the emotional healing that comes only through meaningful connection with others and the discovery of one's life purpose.

I was moved by Mr. Schweitzer's use of poetry and prose that takes us into the dark and tangled world of war and its aftermath of personal sorrow. Through his encounters with Molly, Jesse and Jake...his angels along the way, we are able to feel his passion, relive his terror, and experience his ultimate healing and renewed sense of hope.

This is a gritty and compelling tale; sensuously told.

Rating: 5
Summary: Insightful
Comment: I am not a musician or a poet so I was a bit skeptical when I started to read the book. I was quite surprised to find that the book is more of a story of one person's efforts to find out where he fits in after returning from Vietnam. I am not a Vietnam vet but as a former military member who has remained in Europe since joining the Army in 1977, I can understand a lot of his doubts and views of the world around him. I believe that we all face the same issues and doubts and it is refreshing to read how someone else was able to fight off the old demons and move on with living by focusing on the better points of life.
Mr. Schweitzer may not be a professional story teller but he certainly has a story to tell and does it like an old pro. If you like insightful reading, read it.
