"The successful reintegration of veterans back into our society comprises some of the most important work being done in America today, and Hidden Wounds is at the forefront of that effort. They are filling a crucial gap in government services and literally saving lives."
—Sebastian Junger, Author, A Perfect Storm and Director, Restrepo
"A winner…thoroughly enjoyable reading!"
—Colonel (ret) Mike Valdez, Vietnam veteran
"The soldier often serves long after his tour of duty is over. This book reminds us all that even the strongest and most courageous can break. We need to remember to look beyond the uniform and help our service members recover from the most difficult challenges...the challenges inside."
—Kevin Hogan, Psy.D. Author of The Gift
"Because their first book sprawls across continents and generations, some readers might assume Captains Nathan Brookshire and Marius Tecoanta have written popular fiction. But their words really speak to men fresh from combat and returning for more. Rather than trying to understand "Hidden Wounds: A Soldier's Burden" as a timeless study of pain, loss and regret, readers should think of it as a testament to an American military suffering through nearly a decade at war. There's an abiding decency to this novel, which I suspect was animated by the authors' shared strength of character and commitment to help others."
— Carl Prine, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

"I am in awe of the work…Well done…this book will open conversations that need to happen for so many Soldiers. It is making an impact!"

"A compelling and moving story of family and war, of what tears people apart and what brings them together. This book touched my heart. I hope it will open the way for a better understanding of the lasting wounds of war, especially PTSD."
— Toni Bernhard, Author of How to Be Sick
"The novel touches on important issues about service in wartime. How does the random violence of war affect a young man's life? How does a soldier come to terms with taking life? What are the roles of redemption and responsibility? America has thousands of young men who grapple with these issues, and the outcome of their struggle affects us all. Listed at the end of the book are organizations that help our military and their families with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other 'hidden wounds'."
— William V. Burns
"This book gently as well as graphically gathers the vital remnants of three generations affected by Wars. It's your portal to important conversations we need to have-men, women and families, to heal, together. Fascinating read for lovers of military history, romance, travel and a riveting story."
—Helena Kaufman, Vancouver, Canada
