Mickey Dennis weaves a tale that would make Charles Dickens pale and Emily Dickinson proud in "Take One Day At A Time: Surviving Post-Traumatic Stress." His writing is engaging, disjunct and chock full of story. The story of one man's resilience in the face of overwhelming odds against him: his victory over death, over abuse and over Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. His story falls to the ground in narrative chunks, only to be carefully rebuilt by his descriptions of the loving family and church congregation around him, supporting him. He offers a path for every human being suffering from PTSD or abuse, especially service members or veterans.
