For James Milton Roberts, his life falls into three distinct
phases: growing up on a tobacco farm in eastern North Carolina;
witnessing the horrors in Vietnam with the Marine Corps; and
battling the personal aftereffects of the war. In this memoir, My
Three Shadows, Roberts recaps his past in order to make sense of
his present and future. Roberts recalls growing up on a farm, where
he picked tobacco and tended the animals. Although it was a time of
hardship, he narrates stories of the carefree hours of fishing and
swimming in nearby swamps. But his life changed drastically when he
joined the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam. My Three Shadows
provides a firsthand look into some of the horrors he witnessed.
These horrors would haunt him when he returned to the United
States. This memoir tells of how post-traumatic stress disorder and
repressed memories of war affected every aspect of his life,
causing him to lose his family, businesses, and home. But Roberts
also shares a story of survival and redemption-how the love of one
woman makes him who he is today.
