ABOUT THE BOOK
A Father’s Stories:
Monsters and Men
A Father’s Stories: Monsters and Men is a memoir that intertwines a daughter’s memories of a funny, charismatic father with his firsthand account of serving in Vietnam.
Moving from the tall tales and family rituals that shaped her childhood to the trauma he carried home from war, the book explores storytelling, survival, memory, and the lasting bond between father and daughter.
Both intimate and unflinching, it is a portrait of one family’s love and the enduring human cost of war.
