Between Two Worlds: When Peace Is Just A Different Kind Of War
"Survival is arbitrary. What you do with it matters."
Santos spent his childhood surviving the war at home-escaping arson, abuse, and the crushing weight of poverty in the Bronx. He thought the military would be his escape. He thought war would be the hardest thing he ever faced.
He was wrong.
Driven by the ashes of 9/11, Santos enlisted, finding his purpose in the structure of the Army and the brotherhood of the infantry. But after surviving IED blasts and the moral injuries of Iraq, he returned home to a new enemy: the silence.
Between Two Worlds is a gripping work of autobiographical fiction that follows one man's journey through the "Charity Kid" who needed saving, the "Warrior" who needed a war, and the "Survivor" who had to learn that alone doesn't mean broken.
Battling Gulf War Illness, a broken system, and the ghosts of his past, Santos must fight the ultimate proxy war to reclaim his integrity and redefine what it means to be a father, a husband, and a man.
