Rarely does a book of any sort touch me as this one did. Madeleine Mysko has created a vivid, beautifully written, and deeply personal piece of literature.\u003cbr\u003e Tim O'Brien, author, The Things They Carried, and Going After Cacciato (National Book Award Winner) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Madeleine Mysko's portrayal of the burn ward, of the suffering soldier, and of the afflicted families and efficient caregivers, are real and riveting. As more and more soldiers are injured and disabled in Iraq and Afghanistan, as more and more families are called upon to tend to or bury their loved ones, Mysko's novel comes not only as a wake-up call but also as a soothing balm. This is a viscerally wrought and redemptive tale, difficult to put down, and impossible to shake from the memory.\u003cbr\u003e Cortney Davis, author, Leopold's Maneuvers and I Knew a Woman, editor, Between the Heartbeats: Poetry and Prose by Nurses and Intensive Care: More Poetry and Prose by Nurses \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Madeleine Mysko writes evocatively about the virtues of a cradle Catholic who deals with an alcoholic husband, a politically energized daughter, an unjust war, and a changed church. With an eye for the telling detail and a great compassion for all her characters, Mysko traces the journey of a woman who struggles with tragedy and gains wisdom. \u003cbr\u003e Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former Lieutenant Governor, the State of Maryland, author, Failing America's Faithful: How Today's Churches Are Mixing God with Politics and Losing their Way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 26, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47256709628153,"sku":"9781891386787","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Pfra4Pv4659781891386787_800df1a1-7de4-4a09-9102-8b6c2b395b25.webp?v=1768738421","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/bringing-vincent-home-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
