Description
Teresa Fazio's memoir offers a unique perspective on her experiences as a young woman in the Marine Corps during the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom. At just 23 years old, she found herself commanding more experienced troops in an active war zone, where vulnerability was not only taboo but potentially lethal. As Fazio navigates her deployment and its aftermath, she grapples with feelings of anger, guilt, and emptiness. Her struggles are deeply personal, revealing a complex and often fraught coming-of-age story. With unflinching honesty, Fazio shares her experiences, creating a powerful and thought-provoking account of one woman's journey. Hardcover, 232 pages.
