The Destruction of the 'American Dream'
By: Robert Diamond Aug. 28, 2017
In "Downsized," by Richard C. Anderson, an Iraq veteran with PTSD has adjusted well to civilian life. With a wife, two young children and a new house, he seems to be living the "American Dream." But, when an expected promotion falls through, he enters into a state of fear and anger, and is on the verge of losing everything. What ensues is an adventure through the unknown and schemes to attempt to recover his old life, with colorful characters and risky deals.
"I enjoy adventure," Anderson said. "And I've seen what happens to people when they face uncertainty and fear of failure. This book is based on some of those incredible actions I've witnessed."
Anderson is also a veteran and knows, first-hand, the debilitating effects traumatic events can have on one's life.
"Living with PTSD is, by no means, a smooth journey," Anderson said. "Through this book, I hope to reach others who have suffered traumatic experiences, as well as those who enjoy adventure and thrillers."
