Pulitzer Prize Journalist and Author Julia Keller at Saratoga Library

Pulitizer Prize winning journalist Julia Keller wrote a series of articles about traumatic brain injury for the Chicago Tribune in 2004 and became more aware of American soldiers returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan with invisible wounds of war. This background inspired Back Home, a novel for grades 5-8, that describes one family’s reaction when Dad returns home with physical and brain injuries.
