About this eBook
Chuck is the ninth grader, the fat kid from a father absent family, and the whipping boy for the jocks at his school. Brody is the Special Forces soldier, just returned from Iraq with a Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Each afraid to confront his own adversaries, they sit alone, defeated by their weaknesses, suffocating in the loneliness and nightmares of their worst fears. But when Brody moves into the abandoned house on Bird Street, next door to Chuck, the two wounded warriors eventually forge an unlikely friendship THE WAR ON BIRD STREET is a story of torture and suffering at the hands of real and imagined adversaries, and finding that a person who looks and acts like the enemy is the messenger who inspires commitment, healing and the courage to leave the past behind and stand up to take back a life.
About the author
Gary grew up in San Angelo, Texas, where the first day of the rodeo was a school holiday. He is now retired and lives with his wife in the old farmhouse they restored and share with the cats, the cows and horses across the road, and the coyote choir that performs nightly. He is a member of the Writer’s League of Texas and San Gabriel Writer’s League. His varied professional experiences in health care and criminal justice have given him a rare insight into the minds of people who complicate their lives through critical thinking errors and he uses what he learned from those people to develop the characters in his writing.
