Book Review: Those Darn Stripes

"Those Darn Stripes" is a poignant and introspective book that narrates Tyrel Nelson’s journey through some of the most difficult times in his life. The book takes readers on an emotional and deeply personal exploration of his struggles, sorrows, and self-discovery.

The story starts with Nelson, mired in depression after an event changed his life forever. Every morning, it's a struggle for him to get up as he is plagued by sleepless nights where rest seems nowhere in his reach. Suffering through his mental hardship, Nelson returns to a group of stories that he penned months ago. With each of them he reads, little pieces fall together and a realization hits — you never really poured out the extent to which your pain stretched. Committed to unveiling himself entirely, he realizes that for the story of his enterprise to persist it must touch on each area — even those which may be hard or humiliating matters.

Throughout the book, Nelson reflects on the significant people and places that shaped his life, with a special focus on his father. From childhood to adulthood, Nelson’s bond with his father is beautifully portrayed, full of fond memories of nature walks, bird watching, and an appreciation for the outdoors. His father wasn’t just a figure of authority but also a guide who supported him during the toughest times.
