What some people are saying about Breakdown, Recovery and the Outdoors!
“A Vietnam veteran from a middle-class, midwestern home, I thought the author was writing my biography. He brought me back to my family’s dining room table and my childhood at our lake home. I couldn’t turn the page fast enough to find other of my life experiences.”
—Steve Kufus, military intelligence, Vietnam War veteran, and successful attorney.
“Chris Bremicker has a rare gift for bringing the reader into every experience. His writing surges with emotion and candid expressions from his soul. Readers feel like they are along for the ride as he describes the joys and challenges of life.”
—Lee Peterson Baker, a writer, fundraiser, and marketing communication consultant.
“Breakdown, Recovery, and the Outdoors is a moving and inspiring story of courage and self-discovery. Following Mike’s journey from his breakdown to his recovery, from being alone to finding wholeness, was an experience I won’t soon forget. Bremicker’s style is engaging and vivid, a joy to read. Highly recommended.”
—Jane Lo, a Chinese-Canadian writer, English teacher, and author of All I Ever Wanted
“Chris Bremicker’s Breakdown, Recovery, and the Outdoors is a raw and personal story of survival, resilience, and healing. He shares his character’s experiences in Vietnam and the struggles that followed, painting a vivid picture of how war changes a person.
Despite his family’s concerns, Chris enlisted and faced both physical and emotional battles. But his story isn’t just about trauma—it’s about strength. He doesn’t let war or addiction define him. Instead, he finds healing through nature, writing, and human connection.”
—Susan Bayer
