Beauty After the Battle: Finding Light, Love and Legacy in the Shadow of War

Beauty After the Battle is a deeply moving memoir of legacy, loss, faith, and redemption—written by the son of a Vietnam veteran who served as a Navy Corpsman on the front lines of war. Through the eyes of a child who grew up in the long aftershock of that sacrifice, the author weaves together his father’s unseen battles and his own journey of understanding, grief, and faith. With lyrical storytelling, vivid memory, and honest spiritual reflection, the book explores how trauma echoes across generations—and how God meets families in the ashes with hope. Beauty After the Battle invites readers into a story where pain is named, faith is wrestled with, and healing is found not by erasing the past, but by redeeming it. This is a testament for veterans and their families, for those who carry hidden wounds, and for anyone longing to believe that beauty can still rise from the ruins.
