I downloaded and listened to "Beyond the Shadow of War" by Diane Moody with Justine Eyre as narrator. The book is a gripping, thrilling novel that reads like a heartbreaking story, at times. More than once, I found myself sobbing while listening to it.
In Beyond the Shadow of War, Diane Moody takes you through the trials and tribulations she faced in her life. From being on the streets to becoming a mother, she shares her heartbreak and joys in writing her story.
Diane Moody's memoir of the Vietnam was a revelation to me. As I listen, everything comes alive. She is not always on point but her voice carries me through the story from beginning to end with evocative clarity and attention. The narrator in this audiobook is [Justine Eyre], who does a wonderful job with both Diane's personality and the overall narration.
Beyond the Shadow of War is a non-fiction account of the author's struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and social anxiety. The book explains how these disorders are not exclusively mental illnesses, but rather are caused by physical and emotional traumas. It tells the stories of people dealing with PTSD that have helped the author in her own struggle, including soldiers and mothers living with children who were diagnosed with autism.
The war is over, but the peace won't last. Justine Eyre takes us on an emotional rollercoaster as she tells a story of hope and love in a world where no one can escape the ravages of war. "It's not always easy getting back into a normal routine when you've been through such extreme things," says Justine, who lost her husband to the ultimate sacrifice while serving as a soldier in Afghanistan. "I still feel guilty that I'm alive." This audiobook is perfect for veterans, those who have survived the trauma of war, and anyone dealing with the aftermath of any intense event.
