Push

In life, the question is not whether you will face adversity but when. For Raylan Dansby, the main character in this novel, adversity comes early in life when his Air Force pilot father's jet crashes in Korea.
Growing up on a farm, as we used to say, way out in the country, most of Raylan's life advice comes from an older cousin, a disabled former U.S. Marine, who told him as a youngster the best way to deal with adversity is to "push through it." The dialog and accounts of Vietnam jungle missions are highly accurate for one simple reason: David Ware was once there in the jungle hunting - and being hunted - by the enemy.
