FACING THE WALL: A MISSION

About the Book

Perceiving right or wrong, in reference to war, is not my call – this is for our elected officials. But, when our veterans return from battle, it is the responsibility of our nation to help them adjust after war. These veterans and their families must be given all the help necessary to return to a normal existence.

"Mary King, without any attempt of conjuring up any appearance of self pity, has captured the impact that post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has had on her life and those of her family.” Jerry Albert

“It was my pleasure to read this manuscript as it was being born. As Mary finished each chapter-I read and wanted more. The story is about the inner workings of an American family trying to adapt and keep it together. My husband is a Vietnam Vet also. Through Mary’s words I saw correlations in my own life and finally understood. In reality this is a true love story…with a twist.” Mary Lou Canfield

“As I began reading the story, I became so interested in what happened next that I found it difficult, at times, to put the book down. It is a wonderful story of love, frustration and down right courage by everyone involved.” Carolyn Bruno

“… A compelling, page-turning story of an American family affected by a national issue.” Ellen Albert
