 Bringing Vincent Home: a novel  (Plain View Press)

"Rarely does a book of any sort touch me as this one did," writes National Book Award winner Tim O'Brien. "Though a novel, Bringing Vincent Home reads like the finest memoir, so authentic and convincing that at times I found myself turning back to the title page to be sure it was a work of fiction."
