Roy Eisenstein

Blacktop, No Map Roy Eisenstein

How does a man overcome a haunted past to accept the love of a woman? In this lyrical journey, a man decides to leave Los Angeles and drive back to his home city of New York, accompanied by a woman who loves him and whom he should love in return. But his emotional scars from the Vietnam War prevent him from opening up to her - or even to himself. His journey becomes one of self discovery, both poetic and personal. Author Roy Eisenstein served in the US Army and made Sergeant at the tender age of 19. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, but has been living in California since after the Army. David Willson, book reviewer for the Vietnam Veterans of America, writes, "No false notes in this book tarnished the relentless forward thrust of the narrative, and I enjoyed it mightily. I highly recommend this story to those who want to enjoy an afternoon in the sunshine with a cold drink, reading something to take their mind off their troubles and propel them into a world with a tough but sensitive hero and a beautiful younger woman who adores him and asks no questions about where they are bound and why."
