Writer's Digest calls this book "honest and relatable, great beauty and depth." Renee takes you on a nostalgic journey through their childhood and how Sam grew into an American hero. This extraordinary memoir will have you laughing one moment and moved to tears the next. Get to know Sam and the amazing Marine he was through the eyes of his sister and fellow servicemen and discover how to exchange sorrow for strength so you can crawl out of the trenches of despair and finally find...hope.
