March Forth by Trevor Greene

March Forth by Trevor Greene

At the age of forty-one, Trevor Greene, a journalist and a reservist in the Canadian Forces, was deployed to Afghanistan, leaving behind his fiance, Debbie, and his young daughter, Grace. On March 4, 2006, while meeting with village elders in a remote village in Kandahar Province, Trevor removed his helmet, confident that a centuries-old pact would protect him from harm. Without warning, a teenage boy under the influence of the Taliban walked up to him and landed a rusty axe in his skull, nearly splitting his brain in two. Initially, Debbie was told that Trevor would not survive.

When he did, she was told that he would never be able to communicate or move on his own. But after years of rehabilitation, setbacks and crises, Trevor not only learned how to talk and move again, but in July 2010, he stood up at his wedding, Debbie at his side and Grace carrying their rings down the aisle as their flower girl.

March Forth is a remarkable story of love told in two voices: first in Trevor's, up until the attack; then in Debbie's, as she works tirelessly to rehabilitate her fiance. Together, Trevor and Debbie have written the next chapter in their remarkable story.

Trevor Greene is a native of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. He has worked as a journalist for the past 13 years in Japan, all over Asia, and in Canada. In 1993, he wrote Bridge of Tears, a book on the homeless of Japan that was short-listed for a book prize in Japan. After a stint in the Navy, he settled in Vancouver. He is writing a book about a Navy tall ship journey he made across the Pacific and is researching a work on the tragedy of children enmeshed in the sex trade.
