I felt that Dean Salter did a wonderful job portraying this a ect of war. How this young man ru ing from a war he could not believe in, tore families apart. The community was also torn in their perception of this criminal in their midst. New customs, new friends a new life to try to fit into somehow, without the people he grew up with confused this frightened young man. Betrayal and grievances create miscommunicatio and a rift between his family begi that may never be repaired. Strangers along the way helping in the capacity they could at that time, never fully realizing their small aide was a turning point for this young ma journey. This is a side of the story of war that is rarely told so eloquently.
