Book excerpt: Even as we celebrate the return of our military from wars in the Middle East, we are becoming increasingly aware of the struggles that await veterans on the home front. Red, White, and True offers readers a collection of voices that reflect the experiences of those touched by war--from the children of veterans who encounter them in their fathers' recollections of past wars to the young men and women who fought in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan. The diversity of perspectives collected in this volume validates the experiences of our veterans and their families, describing their shared struggles and triumphs while honoring the fact that each person's military experience is different. Leila Levinson's powerful essay recounts her father's experience freeing a POW camp during World War II. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder provides a chilling account of being a new second lieutenant in Vietnam. Army combat veteran Brooke King recounts the anguish of raising her young children by day while trying to distinguish between her horrific memories of IED explosions in Baghdad and terrifying dreams by night. These individual stories of pain and struggle, along with twenty-nine others, illustrate the inescapable damage that war rends in the fabric of society and celebrate our dauntless attempts to repair these holes with compassion and courage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solitude, wanderlust, a thirst for love, for life, and for self- knowledge spin themselves into insomnia and drive Maria Diaz, a twenty-six year old Math teacher from Miami into a search for answers, which takes her into her own brain during sleep. It is a magic world where her id, her libido, her muses, and her conscience come alive and reveal her inner self: her agnosticism; her disdain for her overextended virginity; her disillusionment with her career and the curse and blessing of growing up with two cultures in the U.S. But the human brain takes back what it gives. All memory of the night's proceedings is confiscated upon awakening, except for minimal token wisps of dreams. Even so, she manages the Promethean task of bringing to light her dark world of sleep. How she steals the night's forbidden treasures and thus finds balance in her life is her story. The author, born Luis Eduardo Alban in Ecuador, S.A. in 1938, came to Savannah, Georgia in 1952, a city which has been home since then. He received his A.B. and PhD in Economics from the University of Georgia. His professional life has been entirely in academe, teaching Economics, Statistics and Quantitative methods. Since his retirement in 2000 he has traveled extensively in Europe and South America and has pursued his love for languages and literature, publishing poetry in regional literary periodicals and a compilation of short stories about words. This is his first novel. Married for 46 years to JoAnn Cool from Kansas, they now divide their year between Georgia and Kansas. They have two children.
