45 mothers of U.S. service men and women open their hearts and share what it feels like when your son or daughter leaves home to fight a war.
Some were stunned when they learned that their "baby" had enlisted. Others had long been familiar with military life. But all of these mothers knew their world had just changed.

Any parent who reads these stories will feel their power--and will gain a greater understanding of the sacrifice made by parents as well as their children in our military.

All of the stories will make your heart swell with compassion for every mother whose umbilical cord stretches across the ocean to Iraq and Afghanistan." -- Regina Brett, author of New York Times best seller God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Life's Little Detours
"This is a book for every American home; an important look at the courage of our military service members and their mothers, who dedicate their lives, no matter the circumstances or the consequences." -- Helen Toolan, wife of Brigadier General John A. Toolan, Jr.
