Awakening in an army hospital, young soldier Matt Duffy is presented with a Purple Heart for being wounded in battle. Informed that he has suffered a traumatic brain injury. Private Duffy struggles to remember the horrifying event. When the doctors explain that his memory loss was the result of an RPG attack, Matt can only envision brief snippets of the battle. Frustrated by his inability to connect the missing pieces of the puzzle, Matt just wants to get back to his squad and find out what really happened. But he'll soon discover that some truths are best left buried. With Purple Heart, National Book Award finalist Patricia McCormick delivers a haunting tale of war. James Colby's compelling narration captures the essence of young men and women living day-to-day in a war zone.
