Abstract
For my IS I am writing a novella that is part of a larger book project about a soldier who comes home from the Vietnam war and must adjust to life back in the States. The story tackles masculinity and coming of age during a tumultuous time in American history. When his brother gets drafted, he decides to go against his father’s wish that his brother joins the war effort and helps him escape.
