Author Mindy Dogherty brings us her tale from her early years to where she is now. She has gone though war and disrespect just because of her sex. She is a trooper (Former field medic) who had an abusive childhood to being taken down by a virus when she was in the corps. She has gone through so much a the VA didn't help with the terrible treatment of her. She is a strong woman for what she has been through and it was a privilege to read about her fight. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of this book and see that we as a species can overcome great odds and keep fighting for what we want out of life.
