New Book Explores Effects of Deployment to Iraq and ptsd on American Families

Though the two women were separated by thousands of miles, age, and interests, they were drawn together by shared terror and the overwhelming desire to communicate with and comfort their soldiers. This memoir contains actual emails and instant message communications with the soldiers, offering a unique and intimate look into the deployment.

Using a simple, easy to read writing style, this work illuminates both positive and negative aspects of a modern day deployment. From surviving the loss of friends, to understanding military operations and dealing with PTSD, this book also serves as a resources guide for veterans, military families and anyone wishing to support the troops.

Friends for Life: Strangers Brought Together by the War in Iraq is available for sale direct from the authors' website, http://www.FriendsforLifebook.Weebly.com, at Amazon.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
