UNTIL TUESDAY

by Luis Carlos Montalvan

This is a true story about a US soldier, suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and how his life was spiraling out of control upon his return to society, dealing with his many injuries and trauma experienced during his time in Afghanistan. That is until he met Tuesday, an assistance dog he was given through 'Wounded Warrior Project and Puppies Behind Bars'.

Montalvan found the army had abandoned him once he had returned home and tried to fit into normal life again. Even his family didn't understand what he was fully going through at first. His life changes dramatically once he receives Tuesday, his assistance dog, and they form a lovely bond which helps him to deal with his condition and stresses. A touching book highlighting the not so easy task soldiers experience when they return to their previous life and how they must cope day to day in a world that is so completely foreign to them now.
