The War Within

The initial stages of BD's recovery from losing a leg in Iraq were dramatically portrayed in 'The Long Road Home: One Step at a Time', but his healing journey was far from over. This powerful sequel shows the 'war within' can be a long and lonely struggle. With his coaching job at Walden re-secured and the marathon PT sessions paying off, BD's return to normalcy seems to be progressing well. But those who love him see alarming signs of trouble, namely anger and alcohol. Our wounded warrior forces himself to begincirclling the local Vet Centre, where he is gently and skilfully reeled inby a remarkable counsellor and fellow Vietname Vet named Elias. Their sessions together form an extraordinary and moving chronicle of catharsis and coming-to-terms.
