Produktbeschreibung

When Damon Roberts Sr. returned to Camp Atterbury, Indiana, from Iraq in August 2006, he felt disheartened that his service as an Army Reserve soldier during Operation Iraqi Freedom was not appreciated. Before long, his heart began to harden with each sunrise, causing him to turn away from God and ultimately lose his focus as a father, warrior citizen, social worker, coach, and mentor. In a riveting memoir, Roberts chronicles his life before, during, and after his service in Iraq as he obtained the foretelling nickname, Matter of Time, experienced life in the military, and attempted to cope with the pressures that accompanied PTSD. While candidly describing how he drank alcohol to self-medicate while trying to manage his anger and resentment, Roberts reveals how his dark journey led him to commit a crime, land in prison, and eventually begin to rebuild his life, heal his soul, and restore his spirituality. Through his honest reflections, Roberts hopes to encourage veterans and returning citizens to seek treatment and realize that they are not alone in their suffering. Matter of Time shares the true story of an Iraqi War veteran's difficult journey as he transitioned from life in the Middle East to America and ultimately discovered the healing he so desperately needed.
