In 1998 Teresa Fazio signed up for the Marine Corps' ROTC program
to pay her way through MIT. After the U.S was attacked on September
11, 2001, leading to the War on Terror, she graduated with a
physics degree into a very different world, owing the Marines four
years of active duty. At twenty-three years old and five-foot-one,
Fazio was the youngest and smallest officer in her battalion; the
combined effect of her short hair, glasses, and baggy camo was less
Hurt Locker than Harry Potter Goes to War. She cut an incongruous
figure commanding more experienced troops in an active war zone,
where vulnerability was not only taboo, but potentially lethal. In
this coming-of-age story set in the early days of Operation Iraqi
Freedom, Fazio struggles with her past, her sense of authority, and
her womanhood. Anger stifles her fear and uncertainty. A forbidden
affair placates her need for love and security. But emptiness,
guilt, and nightmares plague Fazio through her deployment - and
follow her back home.
