What if you leave the war but the war does not leave you? In A Healing, a new book by James Woods, a combat infantryman chronicles the aftermath of war. After arriving stateside from Korea in 1951, the leftovers of war become demons that haunt his life. The carefree boy who went to war disappears, and the Veteran who returns home suffers from the exposure, mentally alone. Writing became an outlet for survival and a path to healing, welcoming the boy in him home after nearly 50 years. After losing his wife in 1966, Woods raised six daughters and a son. Now with grandchildren and a great grandchild, he finds his time of contentment with family. He moved to Alaska 40 years ago, where he enjoys the sight of the Northern Lights and the marvelous landscape that aided in his healing. A Healing is available in softcover (ISBN 1-58939-806-8) and hardcover (ISBN 1-58939-807-6) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. The book can also be ordered from most bookstores around the United States and the United Kingdom. -30-
