"We Pierce" is the heartbreaking story of two brothers. One
brother, Smith, goes to war. The other brother, Sam, stays home and
protests against the war. A true believer in his country, Smith
leads a tank company into battle in Iraq during the first Gulf War.
Sam, an aspiring writer who is as much a rebel as his older brother
is a natural leader, is busy demonstrating in Times Square in New
York and at the Capitol steps in Washington, D.C. Smith learns
about the true nature of patriotism, camaraderie, modern warfare
and, perhaps most important, the soldiers' secret that some things
learned over there are better not brought back home. Meanwhile, Sam
faces his own personal struggles, questioning the strength of his
beliefs while losing a battle with alcohol and narcotics. The depth
of the sacrifices made at home by their family's commitment to
honor and duty to battlefields abroad haunts both of the brothers,
despite their disparate experiences.
As he did with his first novel, "American by Blood," acclaimed
novelist Andrew Huebner draws on his family's long experience with
violence and military service and renders a haunting novel of war.
From the desert of Iraq to the Lower East Side of New York, "We
Pierce" is about fighting for what you believe in, no matter what
the cost to yourself or your brother.
