A Long Road Home: One Soldier. One War. One Lifetime Trying to Forget.
The True Story of Karl D. Keen — A Veteran’s Battle with Silence, Survival, and Redemption

Behind every uniform is a human story. Behind every homecoming, a quiet war begins. In A Long Road Home, Karl D. Keen delivers a gripping, soul-baring memoir that speaks not only to veterans, but to anyone who has fought — and is still fighting — to reclaim their life.

Told with the gritty honesty of a soldier and the sensitivity of a survivor, this book is a chronicle of war, addiction, redemption, and faith. But above all, it is a testimony to the resilience of the human spirit.

War Was Only the Beginning

Keen served his country with honor in Vietnam. But the most devastating battles he would face came after he returned. A Long Road Home brings readers into the reality many veterans live in silence: haunted memories, chemical dependency, fractured families, and a system that often forgets its heroes once the shooting stops.

Keen pulls no punches. He recounts his descent into heroin addiction, the chaos that followed, and the aching years of feeling lost even in his own country. Yet through this darkness, there is light. A rekindled faith. A second chance. A long road — but one that led home.

A Story for Every American

Karl D. Keen does more than tell his own story. He gives voice to countless men and women who’ve endured the physical, emotional, and spiritual scars of war. This memoir is a rare blend of brutal honesty and hard-earned hope — a true American story that doesn’t end in despair, but in the quiet triumph of survival.

A Veteran. A Fighter. A Witness.

Whether you’re a veteran, a family member of one, or simply someone trying to understand the cost of war beyond the battlefield, A Long Road Home will stay with you long after the final page. It’s a memoir that demands to be read, shared, and honored.
