Summary: An exploration in Lipton. This is a look at the caretaker of Easy, from childhood in Huntington to old age in Montana, living with his partner Ronald C. Speirs. Prodigal Son is the life of Carwood Lipton, as it unfolds through the events of The Velveteen Soldier, looking at the same life from the point of view of the other man in it. Curious how Carwood coped with looking after an entire company of soldiers lead by an absentee CO? Or how he adjusted to life after the war? This is the story of how little First Lieutenant Carwood Lipton grew up, found love, and built a house of cards with Captain Ron Speirs.
