Product Description
Whenever he left the hospital, he stopped taking the heavy doses of tranquilizers and other mood-altering drugs. They relieved his ever-growing sadness, but only by making it impossible for him to feel anything at all. Toward his life's end he would describe his state of mind at this time as "being caught in a nightmare," one that began during his military service-got worse as the post-war years went by-and abated, finally, as old age arrived. But during his thirties and forties, his gypsy years, he had no words to describe what was happening to him.
-From Chapter 6

Reader Reviews
Jimmy was a clam digger from Maine who joined the Military before Pearl Harbor and was present on December 7th, 1941. This is a story of a man who suffered and the love of his family. He experienced extreme medical problems from Malaria and overwhelming bouts of depression. The account of Jimmy's life is sad, but uplifting. This father had faith like we all wish we could have. 'Love Jimmy: A Main Veterans Longest Battle' is a true love story; the story of the love a daughter has for her father. As you read, your tears will swell then dry up, and a smile will crease your face - all for the love of a family. Ms. Osier writes a very touching, heartwarming story. This is one you will want to read. Reviewed by award-winning author, Bobby Ruble, author of Have No Mercy and co-author with wife, Kam, of Black Rosebud: Have No Mercy II.
