When Douglas Beaven deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, with the 993rd Transportation Company, he expected combat dangers. He didn't expect to bring home a deadly enemy.
Now, Douglas and Heather are bringing the discipline and resilience they learned in uniform to the domestic frontlines.
Their forthcoming book, Hard to Swallow: Don't Let Dying Kill You is woven together from journal entries, voice recordings, medical records, and public documents. By alternating between Douglas's and Heather's perspectives, the book captures the devastating diagnosis in real time, with all the uncertainty and urgency of events as they actually unfolded.
More than a medical memoir, Hard to Swallow: Don’t Let Dying Kill You is as much a rallying cry for accountability as it is a tribute to the devotion that gives us life when medicine alone cannot.
