In The Lake of The Woods

This story for me seemed complicated. A boy has an abusive father who eventually kills himself and the boy slowly becomes a man. He falls in love in college and soon finds out that his girl was cheating on him. Eventually, he gets drafted and heads to Vietnam. Where he see's horrific images of violence and death that severely plague him. Upon his return to the United States he is labeled a war hero. Once he is settled back in the states he runs for the Senate and loses. Feeling depressed and alienated he moves out into the woods to a small cabin near a lake. Shortly thereafter, his wife goes missing and many suspect that it was him. He flees the area and the story ends very unfinished.
