Read the book that is changing lives and bringing true hope to people around the world. World War II came to a conclusion on August 14, 1945, eight days after the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan. The men of the U.S.S. YMS - 472 were already having thoughts of home, family and togetherness. The weight of the war had finally been lifted, they would soon be going home. Not a single one of them suspected they would soon be introduced to a new type of enemy. Six Days on a Raft is the incredible account of Navy Veteran Bill Harrison, who survived six days and nights on a raft in the south pacific after his ship sank. As his buddies slipped one by one into the ocean, Bill fought through impossible odds to survive and hold on to his sanity while battling the raging demons of fear, hunger, depression and hopelessness. This is his story of true faith and survival.

Jamey Leary lives in his right brain. Always has. Imagination is reality of choice. As he passes through mid life he is both thankful for his blessings and sadly aware that he is as tortured and overwhelmed as he was at twenty. A good day is one not drowned by the din of sensation, information and expectation no one else seems to hear. Remembering is not simply a theme in Jamey's story but a ribbon running through his life. Almost connected vignettes move us with him through the seasons, forward and backward in time. Sentimental snapshots, odd observations and quirky conversations with friends and lovers give us some insight into this disheartened romantic and help him learn about himself. But ultimately there is no transformative epiphany - only the continuing trek of one survivor attempting to make sense out of his time here and yearning in his dearest dreams to be a mover of souls and a healer of hearts.
