Mrs. Lassley's Thoughts:

For me, this book hit very close to home. One of my closest friends became a Marine on September 10, 2001, one day before 9-11. After boot camp he was deployed and sent to Iraq. After one tour, he came back for a month leave. The friend that left and the man that returned were two very different people. He refused to talk about what he saw and did over there, and at times he was very difficult to deal with. Levi is dealing with the same thing with his brother. Dana Reinhardt has created a book that is completely relatable! If anyone is dealing with this situation, this is a must read!!!
