Letters Home

A memoir of war from a mother's perspective. From the time her son, PFC Sean Ward of the 3rd Infantry Division (mechanized) enlisted in the Army as an infantryman she knew it was how he chose to express his citizenship after 9/11. She shares his letters from basic training through the war. The letters illustrate the evolution of a teenage boy to the maturity of a young man in less than a years time. At the same time she opens the window to her family's heart and soul while life continues for them bringing other issues they must address.
