A Vietnam veteran finds peace after a lifetime of tumult in J. Gregory Street's eye-opening new memoir, Horse & Rabbit Stew: It's Probably Because I Was A Breech Birth. A precocious child who turns into a rebellious teenager, Street barely holds his life together. After sneaking out of high school and squeaking into college, he soon finds himself banished--running headfirst into the arms of the United States Army and the war in Vietnam. Street endeavored to avoid the infantry but was assigned to the First Infantry Division's cavalry squadron--The Big Red One; The Bloody Red One. That life-altering venture, after a startling in-country adjustment, leads him to personal success, complete with decoration and rapid promotion. Street's world later crashes when he is faced with charges for a crime that, if convicted, could get him the death penalty. The bogus charges soon vanish, but the insult to his honor remains. Street finds himself wrestling with a host of mixed emotions both in-country and upon his return home. Angry and confused, he launches into a life full of heady triumphs and tragic memories. PTSD does not enter Street's mind until he receives accidental counseling, sparking an emotional turn-around.
Over the decades after returning home, Street struggles with his demons making slow progress. He does manage to find and marry the love of his life, complete his education, and successfully co-found three (and sell two) companies. A lifelong love of aviation provides a new challenge and Street realizes the biggest obstacle in his life had always been . . . himself. In this riveting memoir readers will marvel at the shocking exploits and profound changes of a man who comes to embrace both the life he has already lived for its bold and broad experiences and the promising life yet to come.
