“Nothing in my army training had prepared me for what happened in Jerusalem in February 1965.” In Chris McQuaid’s stunning memoir, Elegy for a Broken Soldier, a traumatic event led to his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Music became the only respite that provides him solace. Chris was a member of the Irish Army guard of honour for the visit of US President John F. Kennedy to Dublin in June 1963. With the cheers of the crowds lining the presidential route still ringing in his ears, he felt “ten feet tall” as he prepared for his first UN peacekeeping mission to the Congo. On a UN mission to Cyprus in 1965, trauma changed Chris’s life forever, marking the beginning of his PTSD. In Lebanon in 1980, his life was threatened, and the shock effectively ended his military career. Neither event originated on the battlefield, but from within the Irish Army. Despite severe depression and suicidal thoughts, Chris continued his education and returned to the service to become a commissioned officer. He left the army in 1986 with a glowing service record. A long legal wrangle and a succession of psychiatric and psychological assessments have led to even greater health problems, but Chris has survived it all.

In 'The Broken Soldier and the Maid of France' by Henry Van Dyke, the author weaves a poignant tale of love, resilience, and faith set against the backdrop of World War I. Van Dyke's lyrical prose captures the emotions of the characters as they navigate the devastation of war and the resilience of the human spirit. The book's exploration of themes such as heroism, sacrifice, and love make it a timeless piece of literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Van Dyke's vivid descriptions and attention to detail transport the reader to the battlefields of France, making the story come alive with each page turned. Henry Van Dyke, a renowned American author and theologian, draws inspiration from his experiences serving as a minister during the war, bringing a sense of authenticity and depth to the narrative. His background in literature and theology shines through in the moral and philosophical aspects of the story, adding layers of complexity to the characters and their motivations. I highly recommend 'The Broken Soldier and the Maid of France' to readers who appreciate beautifully crafted prose, historical fiction, and thought-provoking themes. Van Dyke's masterful storytelling and poignant reflections on love and sacrifice make this book a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the human experience in times of adversity.

Mental illness and trauma often lead good people down a very dark road, but there is light at the end of the tunnel""and no, it's not a train headed toward you. The story of The Soldier and the Bear is about one man's battle with post-traumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder and his journey back to hope and believing life is worth living again. With his newfound hope, he fights this psychological battle a little differently than he did before. He fights with a renewed strength that comes from a renewed mind. His weapon is no longer overmedicating or alcohol, and suicide is no longer an option. His weapons are now faith, hope, love, the Word of God, and a red golden retriever named Bear. He is no longer alone in the battle, and you don't have to be either. We believe you and your loved one struggling with the same or similar mental illnesses will also find hope once again upon reading his story. The challenge set before you in acquiring this new life-changing hope is to read this book, seek out God, and determine yourself to take one day at a time with a renewed mind-set. One that simply says, "I am worth it," and "I won't give up." It won't happen overnight, but remember, baby steps are progress. Life is too valuable and precious to let it slip away. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
