Book Description
The perspective of this collection of poems is primarily that of a mother dealing with the many disabilities that someone in her life may have and that of the child himself or herself. Mothers have always had it tough. From the days of Adam & Eve, mothers have always faced challenges and fears that fathers either ignore, "delegate," or simply find a solution without any thought or emotion. But mothers...they are wired differently from the moment they realize they're expecting. A new instinct kicks in. And when a disability enters the joys of parenthood, the mother becomes a new form of superhero that the world is a better place because of her.

Book Description
In Vietnam's jungle war, only one group of men was feared more than death itself—the Marine Scout Snipers. . . . The U.S. Marine Scout Snipers were among the most highly trained soldiers in Vietnam. With their unparalleled skill, freedom of movement, and deadly accurate long-range Remington 700 bolt rifles, the Scout Snipers were sought after by every Marine unit—and so feared by the enemy that the VC bounty on the Scout Snipers was higher than on any other elite American unit. Joseph Ward's letters home reveal a side of war seldom seen. Whether under nightly mortar attack in An Hoa, with a Marine company in the bullet-scarred jungle, on secret missions to Laos, or on dangerous two-man hunter-kills, Ward lived the war in a way few men did. And he fought the enemy as few men did—up close and personal.
