Like the Afghan war today and the ten-year war in Iraq, the Vietnam War left no one unchanged, particularly not the nearly eleven hundred Americans who lost multiple limbs and returned home from Vietnam to face a different kind of battle: acceptance. How Can You Mend This Purple Heart goes inside the minds of amputees struggling to heal from the ravages of war and chronicles a journey of love, redemption, and joy, a journey of pain and anger ... and a journey of hope.

Like the Afghan war today and the ten-year war in Iraq, the Vietnam War left no one unchanged, particularly not the nearly eleven hundred Americans who lost multiple limbs and returned home from Vietnam to face a different kind of battle: acceptance. How Can You Mend This Purple Heart goes inside the minds of amputees struggling to heal from the ravages of war and chronicles a journey of love, redemption, and joy, a journey of pain and anger . . . and a journey of hope. Most of all, it is a journey of the human spirit and its triumph over the most impossible odds. In this riveting first novel, author T. L. Gould draws upon his experience recovering in a military hospital to create a plain-truth, no-holds-barred narrative stark in its simplicity, detail, and humor. From dressing changes and morphine drips to off-site forays into neighborhood bars and brothels, Gould chronicles the precipitous journey to recovery of the men of Ward 2B: how they learned to walk again, to love again, and to triumph over crippling injuries. A farewell to his family in the summer of 1968 begins what would have been a four-year enlistment in the Navy for eighteen-year-old Jeremy Shoff. It is a third choice for Jeremy: a choice he let others make for him. A few months earlier he had made a verbal commitment to join the Marines, and the jungles of Vietnam were waiting. But somehow--between the 2-S deferment, the ensuing fistfights with his old man, and the lovemaking with his flower-child girlfriend--he gives up on the Marines and is left with no other choice. It is a choice he will regret for the rest of his life. How Can You Mend This Purple Heart is a tribute to all the combat-wounded veterans of past and present conflicts. Winner of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation's James Webb Award for distinguished fiction.

'How Can You Mend this Purple Heart?' is a blistering fiction built around the 15 painful months author Terry Gould spent in a Vietnam Veterans' recovery ward during 1968/9. This is why his account not only rings faultlessly true, but also burns and bleeds the suffering of America's best who had typically been blown apart by a land mine, losing multiple limbs as they strained to save their minds and recover their sense of hope. 'How Can You Mend This Purple Heart?' is about those who always suffer the rough end of history, who used to beg on their stumps selling matches after previous wars where they were still regarded as heroes. Who returned from Vietnam a hero, and what happened to those who returned home in many pieces? 'Purple Heart' is about as powerful as it gets - the ultimate humane tribute to true warriors, to the indomitable nature of mankind.

382 days...that's how long Jewel's dad has been serving overseas in the war. She loves her dad dearly and has counted the days until his homecoming. But, the dad that came back from the war is not the same dad who left. Why is Jewel's dad so different? Why are the students at Jewel's new school so cruel? Why is Jewel's dad standing on the school's stage? This heart felt story brings to light what military families know all too well...the "war" does not end when America's servicemen and women are lucky enough to walk back through that front door. This story explores the impact of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and its impact on our veterans and families. This student written short story with its vivid descriptions and broad array of figurative language make this an ideal novel for families, veterans and teachers. This short story was written by three extremely gifted sixth grade students. Proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to Cliffside Park School #3, so that the children can continue all of their charity work (care packages to soldiers, food drives, etc.)
