Still Kickin’

By Billie Hanson-Dupree

Still Kickin’ follows a WWII veteran who returns to the Central Valley and struggles to find his way. World War II is over – but not for Bill Reeves, Army veteran. When he returns to his home in California’s Central Valley, scenes of combat haunt his dreams, and he finds racism as strong as ever.
A man forever changed, he struggles to fit back into his family and his community. He finds refuge in The Shack, the lively juke joint where music soothes his soul. There he finds a woman fighting her own demons. Can she help him in his battle to turn nightmares into the dream of a new life?

“I was immediately drawn to these vulnerable characters who tempt fate for love. The story resonates long after the final page.”
—Lucy Sanna, author of The Cherry Harvest

“A moving tribute to a generation who sacrificed so much—with precious little recognition for all they gave.”
—John D. Britto, author of Cybil’s Gift and U.S. Navy veteran
