4.9/5 (28208 ratings)

Description:Despite being disillusioned by the horrors of Iraq and Afghanistan, Jason Keller is profoundly grateful to be alive. Once recovered from physical injuries sustained in the city of Ramadi, Iraq under circumstances he cannot fully remember, he is discharged from the Marine Corps with Post Traumatic Stress.Jason isolates himself in his ancestral home in Holston Valley, Tennessee, struggling with reinventing himself every day. Jason wrestles with nocturnal panic attacks, survivor's guilt, moral injury, institutional betrayal, substance abuse, and existential dread. He wants to be worthy of the life he has retained but blames himself for his junior Marine’s death, an infantryman bound for a life of moral service in the Chaplain Corps.Far from family and the war, Jason undertakes a series of self-experiments to increase his “consecutive days without incident” and “control stress responses”. He runs daily, sleeps on a 48-hour cycle, reads avidly, and renovates his WWII veteran grandfather's house to stay busy, but his system is flawed. The best he can seem to achieve is a state of numbness and functional alcoholism.Enter Ava Taylor, a 24-year-old veterinary college student on summer break from Vanderbilt University. Away from academic life, close family, and her father's small-town congregation, Ava strives to balance her growing rebellious spirit and emerging independence with academic pressures and financial stressors. Quick-witted, compassionate, and full of southern charm, Ava is determined to financially rescue her proud, ailing father and 6-year-old sister from looming poverty.Holston is a small town, and soon, Ava and Jason meet. Despite an initial attraction, Ava dismisses Jason as rude. Jason recognizes he is emotionally unavailable, jaded by vicarious military relationship trauma, and determined to remain alone.Thrown together under unforeseen circumstances, Jason helps Ava, to the detriment of his own resolve. The tentative friendship they form eases their mutual loneliness, and soon they are spending free time watching The Sopranos, solving Jason’s raccoon problem, and debating life's most absurd philosophical contradictions. Wanting to protect Ava from the darker aspects of himself, Jason keeps her at a distance once he realizes his feelings could surpass mere friendship.Black and White is a portrait of the 9/11 Generation’s warrior class, and an odyssey through healing, forgiving, becoming, and loving.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
