Raeford's MVP

- A Vietnam Veteran's Story

About Raeford's MVP

Billy Coker is a nineteen-year-old squad leader in the final 30 days of his one-year tour of duty in Vietnam, yet he realizes that if he survives, he must find a way to get past the horrors of war and seek out his future. Although he knows his predicament was self-created by his high school obsession with the opposite sex, he can remember but one truly meaningful relationship from those years. That was with a girl he mostly shunned because she was an over-weight nerd. Bonnie Jo always said he was too cynical-especially when he called their classmates egotistical jerks. If only she could see him now. He'd perfected cynicism in Nam. It was his forte, and he'd raised it to its highest form. A love story, a war story, a story of hope and redemption, Raeford's MVP is by turns deadly serious and side-splittingly funny throughout. Award-winning author Rick DeStefanis introduces readers to the world of the 1970s through the eyes of combat veteran Billy Coker. Billy has escaped death in battle but faces the futureless void of post-traumatic stress syndrome and psychological impotence that plagues him at the worst possible times. His only hope for finding himself is to find someone special he lost along the way.
