Description
A shattering tell–all: this mother-daughter duo—two courageous military women—share their fight for themselves, each other, and the world around them in a painful yet riveting account of family, service, and love. Lita and Jean bare their souls with unflinching candor in this memoir, pulling back the curtain on the hidden truths of family, the Catholic Church, the military, and disability. Their resilience and resolve stand as stark inspiration.
From painful high school haircut memories to rescuing fellow soldiers from a flipped vehicle, this memoir blends romance, reality, and action. These military women will pull you through the swarms of ticks at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, and the excruciating medical bureaucracy of Veteran’s Affairs to land you breathless by their side today.
Lita & Jean is an award-winning memoir that demands to be read and shared. It sheds light on what it meant to be a soldier and a woman during this time, and calls on today’s readers to build the support and outreach needed to help military women thrive.
