Trudeau is the second graphic novel in Trudeau’s “Wounded Warrior” three-book series. This is an amazing graphic novel that enables the reader to empathize with B.D., Boobsie and their daughter while they struggle to try to recoup a normal life after B.D. loses one of his legs in an RPG attack in Iraq. The Long Road Home: One Step at a Time, the first book in this series, covered his physical traumas including numerous surgeries. This book reveals a family in chaos due to B.D.’s PTSD. He now lives in constant fear and drinks almost continually. He thinks parked cars are rigged with explosives to kill him and his family. He sleeps with a loaded rifle and shoots up his own garage. Boobsie and his daughter are afraid of him. Unfortunately, he refuses to accept help from his local VA Medical facility. Unlike the first book of the series, Trudeau does not include much humor in this one, although there are some light-hearted segments. He provides a poignant story that is effectively enhanced by his illustrations. It is astounding that a story this powerful was achieved in a graphic novel. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Your compassionate portrayal of Lieutenant B.D.'s recovery and struggle . . . has touched our Warrior family and opened the eyes of the rest of the world to the physical, emotional, and personal challenges our soldiers face." The initial stages of B.D.'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. As this powerful sequel shows, the "war within" can be a long and lonely struggle, hardly the life of a "glamorous amputee" imagined by his daughter's jealous classmate. With his coaching job at Walden re-secured and the marathon PT sessions paying off, B.D.'s return to normalcy seems to be progressing well. But those who love him see alarming signs of trouble, namely anger and alcohol. First there's the punching of an MP. Then there's the daily breakfast of beer, a subject not open for discussion even with a best-intentioned friend like Mike Doonesbury. And "the screaming at night isn't very Christmassy," Boopsie notes. As B.D. admits to his doctor, "I'd rather sleep with my weapon than my wife! How messed up is that?" Messed up enough that our wounded warrior forces himself to begin circling the local Vet Center, where he is gently and skillfully reeled in by a remarkable counselor and fellow Vietnam Vet named Elias. Their sessions together form an extraordinary and moving chronicle of catharsis and coming-to-terms. The words "Welcome home, soldier," are powerful and transformative, and B.D. is fortunate in finally getting to a place where he can hear them. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
