REVIEWS
I was there, I know. This is an enlightening book into the love lost, the grief overcome and the courage it took to face Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I know, I was there: Private First Class Eugene H. Caster USMC-(Ret.), Hotel 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division, 2nd Pl., 2nd Squad Republic of Viet Nam 1968.

I am artist and read to relax...I felt every word. Read the book. I am a 75-year-old woman who, at the very least, reads two or more hours a day. Glenda Carter's Sacred Shadow, Sacred Ground took me through every emotion. I walked those years with Glenda and I hope with all my heart she writes another story so that I might walk more miles with her. This is a reading experience every man and woman from 18 to 100 would benefit from. I loved the title as well as the photograph on the cover.

It
is a lie that time heals all wounds, a cop-out for those who seek
to hide from the true cost of war. Healing from the losses war
visits upon us is a process, a passage, one that Glenda Carter
boldly describes for us, and in so doing, honors the grief-stricken
teenage widow and her fallen 18 year-old Marine and his comrades
in arms.
She invites us into her journey, one marked with pitfalls and
epiphanies, self-destructiveness and courage, the paradoxes that
measure the coming home from war. Now in her fifties, Mrs. Carter
reminds us that healing fromtrauma cannot, indeed, be measured
by the ticking of the clock, the turning of the pages of the calendar.
True mending of the heart, from self-doubt to revelation, knows
no boundaries such as time. It is available to each of us. The
completed circle is in the gift to society and it is this work
of the heart Glenda Carter offers us here. Welcome Home!
