About this listen
Hearing the Echoes is a raw, unflinching memoir about living with the unrelenting auditory hallucinations of combat—mortar rounds slamming into the ground, explosions ripping through silence, and machine gun fire that erupts without warning. For years, these intrusive sounds dictated the terms of every interaction, fracturing relationships, demanding constant withdrawal, and leaving no room for sustained connection.
This is not a story of transcendence or complete recovery. It is the unvarnished account of containment: learning to interrupt episodes that once ran unchecked, to draw a line between internal perceptual events and external reality, and to maintain functionality when continuity is never guaranteed. Through the collapse of three marriages, the brutal realities of single fatherhood, and the physical toll of chronic pain and surgical interventions, the author charts a path through limitation rather than beyond it.
This book lays bare the cost of living with what cannot be extinguished: the fractured conversations with daughters that could not be retrieved.
