De Courcy, an Irish librarian, spent 15 years with her husband John Johnson, an Australian army officer and Vietnam veteran devoured by post-traumatic stress. With candor and without self-pity, she confronts her journey through grief after John's suicide, chronicling the struggles the loss of a loved one provokes. She also portrays the devastating impact of post-traumatic stress on veterans. The author has written guidebooks on the Australian outback. The 5x8" book contains no subject index. It is distributed in the US by Dufour.
