| Details: |
This haunting hybrid of memoirs reveals one family's tragic encounter with war. Journalist Dana Canedy initially resisted romance with Charles King, the decorated sergeant who would become her husband. Despite her reservations about military men, Canedy falls for King; the two of them have a son named Jordan, to whom King, stationed in Iraq during the child's birth, writes a journal of reminiscences and advice. After he dies in combat, Canedy juxtaposes her own narrative of love and loss with her husband's notes. The result is a devastating, lyrical look at fatherhood and marriage cut tragically short by warfare. |
