"Limb Land" offers a collection of short stories connected by
the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Presenting a heartfelt, emotional
journey, one story details the plight of Army Specialist Spencer,
who, while in the ICU of an Iraqi field hospital, requests to see
off his detached leg one final time. He s told policy would not
allow him to bid this unusual farewell. Groggy but coherent, he
requests his detached leg from another member of personnel, who
contemplates the soldiers request.
Then there s the story of MPO Dugan Taylor, born into wealth but
desiring to serve his country just as his father had in Vietnam.
After his face is disfigured by insurgent gunfire, he comes home
only to have his temperamental and transient wife walk out on their
volatile marriage.
A family struggles with a cancer diagnosis; a documentary
filmmaker perishes, but leaves a legacy supported by the
international film industry. A lieutenant experiences an incredible
reunion; one he could not have dreamed possible
"Limb Land" presents heartfelt stories that evoke our gratitude
to all who have sacrificed for these wars.
