Thousands of soldiers have suffered grievous wounds in Iraq, but only one of them is a Doonesbury character. This special collection picks up where THE LONG ROAD HOME left off, following BD through his recovery, while gaining insight into what it takes to reacclimatise to the outside world after such a life-altering injury. BD's inspiring, insightful, and darkly humorous story confirms that it can take a village, or at least a ward, to raise a soldier when he's gone down.
