Brooks Corley
It's Christmas time in Madison, Wisconsin. It is the early stages of the Iraq War, which has conjured up memories for a bread man raised by a Vietnam Vet.
If that weren’t enough to bring back these unwanted memories, his boss at the Bread Depot is an ex-Master Gunnery Marine Drill Sergeant who served in the Gulf War.
On Christmas Eve, his father calls to tell him that he has cancer, and that he has Agent Orange.
Depressed and suffering from insomnia, can he come to grips with his past, and heal the wounds that haunt him?

I love how the author goes from present to past, really telling us the backstory of what’s going on now. I especially enjoyed “Frankie” and his Dad’s characters. They were truly something else. I was born and raised in the south, and the way the writer wrote the dialogue was so touching and familiar to me. I truly felt like I could see these characters and felt such empathy for their plights.
I found myself laughing out loud SO many times. It was so entertaining and touching at the same time. My emotions went from elated laughing, sadness and utter shock (especially when the author describes the moment surrounding the flattened rabbit …WOW).
When the book was over I wasn’t happy! I wanted more. When I heard the end credits I was like Noooooooo!!! Keep going! I would love a part 2, or even a made for television movie !!
This audiobook is splendid, so I’m using my fingers and toes for this one —4 thumbs up!!!!
I am in Awe!!

The author, Justin John Scheck weaves a tale of family, relationships, and growing up in a series of flashbacks and the present day. Each character is richly developed and highlights the thoughts and actions of those time periods. The emotion this book siphons from its listeners is vast and varied depending on the listener.
The narrator, Brooks Corley, is the best thing that happened to this book. His deep rich toned voice enhances the book. The words seem to roll off the tip of his tongue. He keeps the action moving smoothly and although I found bits of the dialog rough for me as a woman, it was realistic and forceful because of Corley’s performance.
It was a bit of a “wow” for me to hear a man rant about his ex-wife in such a brutal fashion and stereotyping all women as behaving the same during a mid-life crisis vs how a man handles himself. If you enjoy veteran-focused military books, then this could be for you. Although I grew up in a strong military-based family, I do not recall hearing any of them speak in this fashion.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
