Losing Tim: The Life and Death of an American Contractor in Iraq

4.2/5 ( ratings)

From one of America's most distinguished authors, an unforgettable look at a mother's love and strength in the wake of a son's suicide. Burroway welcomes readers to grieve alongside her, while providing a lens into how soldiers, like her son, are haunted by their combat experiences. It is a bracing, beautiful read, gorgeous in its language and emotional honesty. Jonathan Shay, author of "Achilles in Vietnam: Combat Trauma and the Undoing of Character," comments in the foreword: "To me, the pain recalls Homer's 'Iliad.'" And Pulitzer Prize winner Madeleine Blais calls it "an elegy and a call to action." It is nothing less than that.
