About The Author

Bob Simmons

Robert Harrison is a U.S. Army veteran and memoirist born and raised in Hazel Park, Michigan. His journey reflects a profound and often painful return to

civilian life, marked by a relentless fight against chronic pain and a broken healthcare system. A man of quiet determination and raw honesty, Robert’s writing is a testament to the

resilience and quiet strength of survival. He served with pride and, after years of silence, turned his personal battle into a powerful voice for countless

veterans still fighting long after the battlefield is left behind. Robert writes not to seek sympathy, but to spark

understanding and change for those who feel forgotten or unseen.

Listen in Silence is his powerful first book.

The Power of Showing Up

I spent years feeling like I was failing if I wasn't 'fine.' The hardest lesson wasn't surviving the war—it was surviving the peace. I learned that on the worst days, the only mission is to show up. Not with answers, not with a brave face, but just with your tired, bruised self20. That act of presence, for yourself or for a brother, is the foundation of rebuilding. You don't need a grand plan to heal. You just need to keep moving forward, one small, stubborn step at a time. The world needs to see that kind of strength.

The Real Meaning of Brotherhood

In the service, brotherhood meant covering your battle buddy in a foxhole. Back home, it looks different. It's the silent nod in the grocery store, the shared beer at the bar, the knowledge that you can sit with another vet and not say a word. It’s loyalty that doesn't quit when things get uncomfortable or messy. This unspoken trust is sacred, especially when the noise of the world makes it easy to feel alone.

A Story That Matters

Listen in Silence is more than a book; it is a vital document of the American veteran experience. This memoir is a gut-wrenching look at the truth of coming home—a narrative that demands accountability, breaks the stigma around veteran struggles, and solidifies Robert Harrison's voice as a leading advocate for veterans’ rights and the human cost of service. His journey from isolation to mentorship is a powerful roadmap for finding a purpose greater than your pain. Read this book to understand the battles that continue long after the war ends.
