In this raw and revealing non-fiction work, Chad Calahan delves into the lasting echoes of childhood trauma and its profound impact on adult life, with a lens on his 20-year career in the Air Force. Blending personal experience with hard-earned insight, the book explores how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) shapes the mind and body, often in ways that remain hidden until the pressure builds beyond breaking points. With a focus on men—who are too often taught to bury their pain—this narrative offers a roadmap to understanding, confronting, and healing from the torque of trauma.
