Bob Stark wanted to be a farmer. The seed was planted while chasing a man with a gun through a farmer's field in Iraq. Nine years later, he and his brother bought property in rural Alaska to start the arduous work of turning a forest into a field. After their agreement falls through, Bob is left to work the land alone. With struggles piling high and no resolutions in sight, he withdraws every dollar he has to embark on a motorcycle journey to either save himself or destroy himself.
Just Like a Soldier is a memoir about accepting the past, building a better future, and appreciating the present. A story of grit, forgiveness, and hope. Campfires, fresh apples, and strengthening family ties.
