Description
Dan Jarvis' Long Way Home is a powerful and moving account of his time as a soldier and a father. After serving in Iraq and Afghanistan for fifteen years, he lost his wife Caroline to cancer, leaving him to raise their two young children alone. This dual narrative weaves together Dan's experiences in the Parachute Regiment, including his attempts to join the SAS, with the story of his struggle to cope with the loss of his partner and become a single father. Through Long Way Home, Dan Jarvis shares his insights into the human spirit, endurance, resilience, and survival. He recounts his missions, the challenges he faced, and what he learned about coping with pressure and finding ways to thrive in difficult circumstances. This is also a story about the importance of valuing those around you and taking nothing for granted. A deeply personal and thought-provoking memoir, Long Way Home offers a unique insight into military life and the complexities of human experience.
