So, if you're like me, that last $20 of Christmas money has been burning a hole in your pocket. Or the anticipation of vast refunds from the IRS has got you fixed with the spending bug...If so, then please do yourself a favor and buy the next great American memoir to hit bookshelves - "Behind the Blue-Star Banner."
Not only is it written by one of my best friends and former roommates (which was reason enough for me to buy it, and, frankly, should be for you!), but it's a terrific read. Michelle's writing full of down-to-earth humor coupled with moments of deep poignancy and it resonates with her readers from page one.
Four years after 9/11, Michelle found herself 23-years-old, married, pregnant and about to experience a winter alone in Alaska, as her husband flew out to Iraq with the 172nd Stryker Brigade. With only a growing baby and an overactive beagle to keep her company, Michelle experienced the life of a military wife trapped on the tundra - living in-55 degree temperatures, waiting anxiously for monthly calls and counting down the days to her baby's birth and husband's return.
Her story is one shared by thousands of women across the country. Now, for the first time, their voices are being heard.
Pre-order a copy, okay? I'll get her to sign it for you and everything... here's that link again!
Thanks guys.
