• How does a woman adapt to life back at home when returning from war-torn Iraq?
These deeply personal and emotional accounts of more than a dozen American soldiers returning home from the war in Iraq includes contributions from women from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard.
Featuring inspiring stories of courage while recovering from physical and psychological wounds, Girls Come Marching Home looks at how combat effects someone’s entire life, including relationships with her family and friends, as well as the fight against the bureaucracy faced when trying to get help with their recovery. Controversial yet considered, this book is a revealing and rare perspective on the war in the Middle East.
