Raeford's MVP

By Rick DeStefanis

Book Overview

Thirty days from home, Billy Coker is no longer sure what home means.

After eleven brutal months in Vietnam, Billy has learned to survive with cynicism, dark humor, and a St. Sebastian medal he can't quite bring himself to take off. It was given to him years ago by Bonnie Jo Parker-the girl who believed in him long before he understood what that meant.

Now Billy has one month left in-country. One month to stay alive.

But surviving Vietnam may be easier than surviving what comes after.

Back home in Mississippi, the war follows Billy into friendships he no longer understands, memories he cannot escape, and a future that feels empty of purpose. To build a life worth living, he must confront what combat has taken from him-and reconsider the girl he once left behind.

By turns harrowing, heartfelt, and sharply funny, Raeford's MVP is a Vietnam-era historical novel about brotherhood, trauma, homecoming, and the redemptive power of love.

Because sometimes the hardest battle begins after the soldier comes home.
