Summary

No experience has a deeper and longer-lasting impression upon a young man than engaging in a war.

Krebs, Hemingway's protagonist, leaves home a college kid and returns a very changed man. This story explores the extremely changed family dynamics within the Krebs family when Harold returns home. Roles switch from parent-child to adult/adult. Professional voice actors Mike Vendetti and Kathy Verduin bring this timeless classic story to life.

Krebs' return is not unlike that of the Vietnam veteran. Veterans returning from Vietnam did not return in mass, but as changed individuals to a country that did not fully understand them. Many of them witnessed and took part in activities that only fellow soldiers understand.
