Book Description
A short, feel good story about the Lee family. The Lee's are a multi-ethnic-military family that just moved to a small suburban town and now, earlier than they ever expected, must guide their eight year old daughter though the difficult issue of diversity. Now, it was time to deal with the hushed questions about their family being very different. Mrs. Lee came to this conclusion, after she witnessed a typical Saturday playtime outside unfolding and becoming an unhappy event where her daughter is mocked, taunted, and declared a "loser." The young friends do not believe young Grace's story when she states, "My Mother Wears Combat Boots to work." The young girls playful game abruptly ends with Grace feeling that she is very different from her friends, and she cannot stop the tears. As a possible way to mitigate the growing questions at school and among their neighbors about their very different family, Mrs. Lee decides to plan Operation, "Women in the Navy Day" to introduce their small town to the diverse men, women, and families who serve in the military.
