Event box

"The Honor Was Mine"

When therapist Elizabeth Heaney left her private

practice to counsel military service members and

their families, she came face-to-face with unheard-of

struggles and fears. Emotions run deeply—and often

silently—in the hearts of combat veterans in this

eye-opening portrait of the complex, nuanced lives

of service personnel, who return from battling the

enemy and grapple with readjusting to civilian life.

Presenting the soldiers’ stories—told in their own

words—as well as her own story of change, Heaney

offers an intimate perspective, not of war itself but

of its emotional aftermath.
