Through My Eyes: A Story of a Teenage Female at War

Through My Eyes: A Story of a Teenage Female in War is the first of its kind. It shares the author's experience as a 19 year old female soldier, sent straight to war without ever unpacking her bags from basic training. She was 3rd Infantry Division 7th Cavalry based out of Fort Stewart, Georgia; the first of the Army to cross the threshold into Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. She, along with 480 men, were sent off to war without anticipating their return back home.
This is a story of battered innocence, thrill, shock, torture, sexism and war. Being in the middle of the desert with little to no support, the odds were all against us. It was their terrain, their resources with unlimited supply of ammo. It was the perfect recipe for a massacre.
