About Hearing the Echoes by Alex Parkview
Hearing the Echoes is a veteran’s unflinching memoir of containment.
The combat sounds never left: mortar rounds, explosions, machine-gun fire erupt multiple times a day in quiet rooms that aren’t quiet anymore. This is not a story of “getting over it.” It’s the daily, grinding work of interrupting live perceptual combat events while raising two young daughters alone, holding a job, and keeping promises when the war still fires inside your skull. No victory lap. No tidy redemption. Just the truth of what it actually takes to live with something that refuses to stay in the past.

Author Bio:
Alex Parkview is a combat veteran and single father who still hears the war every day. After years of trial, error, therapy, and medication, he built a working system of containment that lets him interrupt combat flashbacks and function—for his daughters, for himself, and for the life he refuses to surrender. Hearing the Echoes is his first book and his only agenda: show exactly what containment looks like when you don’t get to put the war down.
