In Line in the Sand, a journalist searches for meaning and wholeness after being shattered by trauma, taking listeners with him on a life-changing journey.
Dean Yates was the ideal warzone correspondent – courageous, compassionate, dedicated. After years of facing the worst, including the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami, one final incident undid him. In July 2007, two of his staff members were brutally gunned down by American fighter pilots in Iraq.
What followed was an unravelling of everything Yates thought he knew of himself. His PTSD was compounded by his moral wound – the devastation of what he thought he knew of the world and his own character and beliefs.
After years of treatment, including several stints inside a psychiatric facility, Yates has reshaped his view of the true meaning of life. Here, in all its guts and glory, is that journey to a better way of being. Yates has been to the blackest heart of humanity and come out with strength and hope.
Line in the Sand is a memoir that is going to resonate for generations to come. It tackles the most important topic of our age in an unforgettable way.
'Dean Yates has produced the roughest, and most honest, journalistic memoir of war I've ever encountered.'
Thomas Ricks, author of the international bestseller Fiasco
'This should be a textbook for everyone working in mental health, and an inspiring read for anyone who cares about taking light into the darkness.'
Steve Biddulph, author of Raising Boys in the 21st Century
'A clarion call for a new approach to preventing and treating trauma.'
Matthew Green, author of Aftershock
