Hero Can I Be
A Work of Fiction Based upon True Stories from Vietnam Veterans
By Maureen Hogan Lutz
Set in the turbulent 1960s and beyond, Hero Can I Be recounts the journey of Jamie Corrigan from his hardscrabble childhood on the streets of New York to the battlefields of Vietnam. He returns a troubled young man to a beleaguered America embroiled in antiwar protests, political assassinations, civil rights clashes, and a cultural revolution. Jamie is on a downward spiral of self-loathing, fueled by alcohol and despair when someone from his past enlists his help to locate a boyhood friend and fellow soldier who has disappeared in Central America. To take on the challenge will mean staying sober and reclaiming his warrior spirit for another chance to become the hero he always longed to be.
Maureen Hogan Lutz is a storyteller whose inspiration comes from life experiences and a great imagination. She is a voice for the sixties generation that still has a lot to say about living through that era. She has been happily married to a Vietnam veteran for over fifty years. Read more about Maureen on her website.
Free Copies of her book will be handed out to any Veterans in the audience!
