Synopsis

Trauma does not always arrive with a single event. Sometimes, it settles quietly-into families, into bodies, into silence. In this deeply personal and reflective memoir, Lindsay Chánnel Hill, a clinical mental health counselor, military spouse, and mother, explores the unseen cost of living alongside trauma. Drawing from her family's experiences with war, illness, and service, she examines how unspoken pain moves through relationships and generations.

Blending memoir with clinical insight, Hill brings language to secondary PTSD and the emotional realities faced by those who love someone carrying trauma. With honesty and compassion, she writes about endurance, caregiving, marriage, parenthood, and the moment silence finally gives way to understanding.

When War Comes Home-The Soldier, the Spouse, and the Child: Living with Secondary PTSD is for those who have carried more than their share without words-for military families, caregivers, and anyone who has learned to survive quietly. It is a reminder that healing does not begin with fixing the past but with naming what has been lived and moving forward with compassion.
