Prayer At Rumayla
by Charles Sheehan-Miles
Nineteen year-old Chet Brown arrived home from the Gulf War in the spring of 1991 and found that, for him, the war was only beginning. Betrayed by his friends and lover, ignored by his family, Brown travels across the country in search of meaning behind the horrors of his war. "Bleak and disturbing... dead-on-target ...This first novel is a work of pure psychological conflict." - Pulitzer Prize winning reporter John Hanchette, Reno Gazette-Journal "Brutally honest, direct, and meaningful, Prayer At Rumayla is a compelling novel of coming to terms not only with dangers and traumas of the battlefront, but with its aftermath upon the lives of the surviving combatants." - Midwest Book Review
