Overview

Most people in the United States do not give a second thought as to who is protecting this country both on our soil and overseas. It is taken for granted. I shamefully admit I was one of those people not too long ago.

Without my knowledge or consent my son joined the United States Marine Corp. His decision caught me off guard. Courage and Faith is a heartwarming story of a son's choice and a mother's slow acceptance and ultimate support of his decision.

It details the emotional rollercoaster of military life peppered with humor and raw emotion. Readers will experience first hand the selflessness and the true sacrifice it takes to become a United States Marine and the affect this has on his mother and the rest of his family.

A story that will ring true for every military parent and capture the hearts of civilians as well.

A truly enjoyable ending.
