In this beautifully illustrated 32-page picture book, a young girl's uncle returns home from military service overseas a changed man-depressed, moody, unable to sleep, and unable to hold a job. The girl and a friend visit a lawyer who acts as a medical-legal partner, providing legal help to underserved communities in a hospital setting, who in turn connects the girl's uncle with Thresholds, an organization specializing in helping returning veterans.
