Item description from seller

Patrick Smithwick brings the reader on a two-year quest for his son, Andrew, two-tour Marine veteran of the Iraq War, who is running away from war memories, nightmares, hallucinations, and those that love him. This is a book for our times as well as a memoir that will last; its focus on the life of one homeless veteran and his family is a microcosm of the national nightmare 50,000 homeless veterans and their families are living.Along the way, you'll meet a wide-ranging, heterogeneous cast of characters, and each homeless man or woman, each helpful flight seatmate, soup kitchen employee, homeless shelter social worker, or Vietnam Veteran begging on the sidewalk, becomes a real, living breathing individual through the author's interaction-his empathy, his curiosity, his ability to communicate at the drop of a hat with anyone on the street-and then his bringing the character to life on the page.War's Over, Come Home is a full-throttled, emotion-charged search-and-rescue mission conducted in splintered pieces of America that have broken off from the bright primary-colored jigsaw puzzle of the "United" States we grew up fitting together so neatly in first grade, a jigsaw puzzle now consisting of battered, isolated, hidden fragments of America that are impoverished, malnourished, destitute, drug-ridden, crime-encrusted, and have no laws besides survival of the fittest.Yet, with his fresh, energy-infused and indomitably-positive voice, along with his self-deprecating sense of humor, Smithwick imbues every chapter with hope: hope for his son, hope for his marriage, hope for his country. This is a memoir of love and perseverance and hope.
