The presence of flashbacks resulting from the head trauma would undoubtedly have an impact on Jame's overall functioning, both in his personal life and as a CIA operative.

The summary of the book caught my attention. I'm curious to know what became of James and how he handled the flashbacks. A historical fiction with action and romance is always a welcomed read. Congratulations on BOTD.

Latest Review: From Burnout to Belonging by Kimberly Carozzi

Post by Ann Kidiavai »

I can easily tell that the reviewer deeply enjoyed the book from beginning to the end. Corporal James Coleman immediately strikes my attention, his experiences in the novel are frightening and interesting at the same time. Bullet injuries are usually fatal and leaves the victim with lifetime mental and physical trauma and disabilities. How exactly James Coleman is able to adjust to his new health status? Does the separation from family affect him? In his ' second life' James emerges as a hero by defying all olds! I want to experience the thrill in this book, the sad and triumphant moments. The reviewer did the book some proper justice!

Beautiful, simply beautiful. From the title of the book, to the design of the letter "O" in the "home". The content within the also supports and goes in line with the title. This is indeed a masterpiece by the author.

James was really lucky to be alive but I don't think it wise for him to continue with his duty after such head wound. Congrats on BOTD!!

This is more or less like a dead person resurrecting. A gunshot in the head. I am almost taking it serious become i remembered it's an historical fiction. Congratulations on BOTD.

James, who was initially confirmed KIA but later resurrected or given a second chance to do better is the captivating character.

Could it be that James' family or fiancee is responsible for his proposed death? I hope James will be able to connect the dots and know the cause of his problems. Great review. Congratulations on BOTD.

Surviving death after having a bullet in the head is no easy feat! This story is about a CIA agent who once fought during the Vietnam War. As the plot progressed, the protagonist had flashbacks of what happened to him before the events in the book started. Sounds perfect for mystery-thriller fan. Congratulations on the BOTD.
