Instead of going to college and in response to the terrorist attack on the World Trade
Center, seventeen-year-old Ryan joins the Army Reserve. When he is nineteen he is
called to serve in Iraq. In his own words he tells of his year in Iraq and of the months
immediately following his safe return home. This is a powerful and well-written memoir.
Mrs. R's opinion: "I don't normally read nonfiction OR war memoirs, but this one is very powerful. It resonated with me since it was written by a young person concerning the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. I have no doubt that all of my war readers will love this book."
