A Young Readers Edition of a compelling story of courage and
triumph, this is the inspiring true story of Major Mary Jennings
Hegar--a brave and determined woman who gave her all for her
country, her sense of justice, and for women everywhere. On July
29, 2009, Air National Guard Major Mary Jennings Hegar was shot
down while on a Medevac mission in Afghanistan. Despite being
wounded, her courageous actions saved the lives of her crew and
their patients, earning her the Purple Heart as well as the
Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor Device. That day also marked
the beginning of a new mission: convincing the U.S. Government to
allow women to serve openly on the front line of battle for the
first time in American history. With exclusive photographs
throughout, Fly Like a Girl tells the inspiring true story of Mary
Jennings Hegar--a brave and determined woman who gave her all for
her country, her sense of justice, and for women everywhere.
Includes exclusive photographs throughout, a discussion guide, and
a Q&A with the author written specifically for teen readers.
Praise for Fly Like a Girl: "An honest portrayal of one woman's
battles in and out of combat zones."--Kirkus Reviews
