At the Cooper VA Hospital, tensions surface after the arrival of a rage-fi lled war hero and his troubled son and the mental breakdown of everyone’s favorite nurse. Drawing on his upbringing with a shaman grandfather, Willis, the new-hire janitor and Vietnam veteran with one arm, relies on lessons from the natural world—and a special hawk—to steer the boy and Phoebe, in fact everyone at the Cooper VA, toward the most benevolent outcome.

“With this novella, Tracy Crow has created a world that transports readers into VA hospital rooms and into the cemetery beyond, with all the psychological freight that this implies. Even more, Crow’s fiction returns us to the world we live in—and to ourselves within it....” — Brian Turner, author of My Life As A Foreign Country: A Memoir and Here, Bullet

“Extremely engaging...Such heart and energy and voice—all of which unfolds with confidence and purity...It’s been a long time since a book has moved me this much.” — Jeffery Hess, author of Beachhead and Cold War Canoe Club

“Cooper’s Hawk introduces us to veteran-patients who rely on their VA hospital for their health, their sanity, and their community...and reveals the beauty in their struggles and the magic in their tragedy. Bottom line, you cannot get through this book without feeling something deeply.” — M.L. Doyle, co-author of the Shoshana Johnson memoir, I’m Still Standing: From Captive U.S. Soldier to Free Citizen—My Journey Home, and author of The Bonding Spell and The Peacekeeper’s Photograph

“‘What do you imagine happens to a man when he finally faces the truth about the Divinity within his enemy?’ In Cooper’s Hawk, Tracy Crow explores the divinity within all of us, the places where we shirk from seeing it, or where we long to. A work of great compassion, open-hearted and unflinching, Cooper’s Hawk provides the fodder for ample discussion about what it means to survive, to heal, and to forgive.” — Andria Williams, author of The Longest Night
