IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award GOLD Winner in Autobiography &
Memoir A remarkable story of love, loss, and hope Author Tyra
Manning learned that her husband had been killed in the Vietnam War
from her psychiatrist at the Menninger Clinic, where she had been
hospitalized for clinical depression. After years of battling
addiction and depression, and coping with the tragic loss of her
father at a very early age, Tyra's worst fear had come true. Larry
had been shot down over the Laotian jungle while flying a
top-secret mission, just two weeks before their daughter's second
birthday. In this beautifully written, poignant memoir, Tyra
Manning recounts how she was able to persevere in the face of
devastating loss. With courage, love, and determination, she
overcame her grief and fulfilled promises she made to Larry before
he left for Vietnam. She ultimately earned a doctorate of education
from the University of Kansas and became one of the nation's top
school superintendents. When Tyra received a call from the air
force in 2006, she was able to keep one last promise to Larry. His
remains had finally been excavated after thirty-five years, and she
was able to honor his wish to be buried at Arlington National
Cemetery. Where the Water Meets the Sand explores themes of loss,
depression, addiction, courage, and love and offers hope to
individuals and families who have also dealt with the loss of
someone close to them.
