Staff Reviews


Once again, David Abrams takes us inside the world of war with a story of six soldiers determined to go to a funeral. What does it mean to be brave? What does it mean to be loyal? What does it mean to be a good soldier? And perhaps even more importantly, what does it mean to be a good friend? These six flawed men have gone AWOL, in a determined effort to honor their fallen Staff Sergeant. As they walk across a part of Iraq, we learn their stories, including their fears and personal challenges. Abrams is good at what he does – revealing truth as found in the harshest of environments. His latest story is another winner.

 

— Linda Bond
