hi,

the sub-title of my book, No Heroes, is "a memoir of coming home."

Hi

It would be helpful if people provided a brief summary of the book or at least why they liked it. I am always looking for good books to read, but I need a bit more to go on before I can add one to my ever-growing, too-many-books-to-read-in-my-lifetime, books-I-want-to-read list.

thanks
