Synopsis

Stories help satisfy our hunger for understanding by allowing us to see ourselves in the lives of others. They show us that this hunger is universal. Stories show us we are not alone. Tom Barber was a Vietnam-era army medic unable to imagine the trauma of combat. Trying to help those physically and emotionally crippled by the chaos of war brought to life feelings of survival guilt and helplessness that would haunt him for years. Alcohol killed that pain. Then alcohol addiction almost killed him. After his discharge in 1971, he became an award-winning illustrator of science fiction and fantasy paperback book jackets . . . for a while. Then personal and business turmoil sent him fleeing to the mountains of Arizona. There he landed in the ghost town of Jerome where he eventually slammed headlong into the world of sobriety. Big change. The result is this story. Some of the concepts and ideas in this book may be considered controversial or ‘far out.’ Nonetheless, they exist and have played a major role in his journey back from the brink. With his lady, Terri, of 28 years, he now lives in New Hampshire where he continues to paint and write.􀀁
