Riassunto

You will never be the same after you read An American's Resurrection. The pages will burn in your hands as you move deeper into the book and yourself. An American's Resurrection is a "terminal literature" that speaks to your soul, essence, "self" as you journey in and out of the author's adolescent Hell as he fights for a life of light and love. An American's Resurrection is being called a real-life Silver Linings Playbook that has been backed by national thought leaders as the groundbreaking work on the experience of madness, child abuse, trauma, addiction and Redemption. An American's Resurrection is a unique work as it is being celebrated around the world by readers of every background ,as well as, being used in curriculums at Major Medical Schools, Nursing Schools, Colleges to elucidate the full experience of serious mental illness, trauma, addiction and child abuse and the non-linear recovery trajectory that can take a lifetime. The three part odyssey is a devastating memoir about a veteran that has suffered his entire life and eventually used college to "Come Alive" as he became literate to the world and himself- To become an international mental health advocate and one of the most sought after public speakers in the United States that lives with Bipolar disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Addiction. An American's Resurrection begins in Section 1 Life with the attempt of the author's father to end his life while the father is captured in a psychotic episode bought on by his untreated mental illness. The boy and the father eventually face off on the altar rails of the author's parochial Catholic school. The father emerges from the shadows to stand "eye to eye" with the boy while you and author settle into a fatal stand-off with a monster you both pity, love and hate. Section 2 Death walks you into the maximum-security ward of a Veterans Administration Psychiatric hospital and leaves you there with the author for over 100 pages. You journey into the madness and anguish of being incarcerated in a locked ward and locked mind. You and the author will be strapped down in four-point restraints three times and for over 24 hours. You will scream and beg for release and receive no mercy...as the author dies his psychic death...crucified at the feet of the mental health system. Neither you nor the author will walk out until Section 3. Section 3 Resurrection walks you out of the hospital as the author tries to Come Alive. He has lost the "feel" of life and will either completely build a new spirit, a new soul and new being or he will die like his father...another veteran that perishes on the streets of the country he fought for and now died for as a Domestic POW. Section 3 shows how the author used college and the greatest writers of all time to build his own philosophy for life while he escorts his hero, his stepfather, to his death. The author will journey deep into himself as he challenges his greatest fears and eventually returns to his "hell", back at the VA hospital, to confront his dead father and make amends with the memory of a man that has dominated his entire life.
