Armstrong's War

About this book

After suffering a crippling injury during a tour of Afghanistan, Michael has returned home to a Canadian veteran's care facility. The last thing he wanted was to spend his time with a twelve-year-old girl, but Halley, a spirited, physically disabled Pathfinder, is eager to earn her volunteer badge. The pair is at odds from the start, but they find a shared interest in reading The Red Badge of Courage, the classic American Civil War novel, which spurs them to reveal their own stories. As their friendship grows, uncomfortable truths are exposed and questioned, redefining the meaning of courage and heroism.

jt: 
And 
conflict 
helps. 
When 
people 
are 
in 
conflict 
they 
gain 
that 
rhythm. 
Right 
now 
we’re 
not 
in 
conflict 
so 
it’s 
probably 
arrhythmic. 
We’re 
just 
really 
trying 
to 
communicate 
but 
if 
we 
had 
to 
do 
a 
test 
we’d 
probably 
make 
it 
rhythmic.
cm: 
Oh 
yeah. 
Because 
it’s 
all 
music.
jt: 
What 
does 
death 
mean 
to 
you?
cm: 
Oblivion.
jt: 
Death 
is 
oblivion, 
there’s 
no 
afterlife.
cm: 
No. 
It’s 
the 
dirt.
jt: 
You 
grew 
up 
Catholic? 
Is 
that 
in 
your 
plays 
at 
all?
cm: 
It’s 
going 
to 
be 
in 
my 
new 
play. 
It’s 
about 
an 
Irish 
Catholic 
family.
jt: 
What’s 
the 
play 
about—is 
it 
partly 
biographical?
cm: 
It’s 
sort 
of 
my 
dad’s 
family. 
Potato 
farmers 
in 
PEI, 
Irish 
Catholic. 
It’s 
called 
O’Brian 
Road
.
jt: 
Really? 
Do 
they 
have 
a 
road? 
O’Brian 
Road?
cm: 
Murphy 
Road.
jt: 
Do 
they 
have 
a 
Murphy 
Road?
cm: 
ey 
do.
jt: 
ey 
have 
a 
ompson 
Road 
here 
too, 
in 
Belmont. 
So 
you’re 
going 
down 
O’Brian 
Road 
and 
one 
day 
I’ll 
go 
down 
ompson 
Road.
