Back Home by Dan L Walker

Set in 1968 South Central Alaska, Sam Barger wants to have a normal life. Find a job, fix up his old car maybe even a girlfriend. His brother Joe goes off to Vietnam to fight a War most people do not understand. When Sam speaks up against it, his life begins to change. Then his Brother comes home, he has changed, drinking a lot of alcohol, nightmares from what he has been through. Sam wants life to go back to normal, but that may not be a possibility.

A fanatic (emotional) story about two brothers with different opinions. There is a Brotherly bond that may be broken due to Joe's choice to join the Troops in Vietnam. Their lives are forever changed, yet they long for some form of normalcy. The struggle to reconnect is real and what each brother goes through is true to life. Overall I enjoyed Back Home and strongly recommend to Young Adult and Adult readers as well.
