Heidi Z. Eazarsky, as many mothers, was forever changed by 9/11. Her husband joined the military as a reservist after that fateful day, never imagining he would be deployed. But he was, and left for Iraq for one year. Eazarsky became both mother and father to her two young boys. This is their story as seen through the eyes of her eight-year-old son. What happens when Dad's not there when his boy is sick? How does a mother comfort her sons when they cry for their father and ask why can't he come home? What does a mother tell her children when television and radio report the casualties and fatalities of war? How does a mother console her child when hearing the pledge of alliance causes him to collapse in tears? This story, told with pride and honesty, gives a intimate glimpse into one family's experience. It's a story of sacrifice and strength and serves as a reminder to all Americans what our soldiers and their families endure to protect our freedom. This treasure of a book is a must-read for any family coping with the absence of loved one. Author Bio: Heidi Eazarsky is a writer and special education teacher.
