As timely as it is heartwarming, Tuesday's Promise is an inspiring memoir of love, service, teamwork, and the remarkable bond between humans and canines. Following the success of his New York Times bestseller, Until Tuesday, Iraq War veteran Luis Carlos Montalvan advocated for America's wounded warriors and the healing powers of service dogs. In this spectacular memoir, Luis and Tuesday brought their healing mission to the next level, showing how these beautifully trained animals could assist soldiers, veterans, and many others with mental and physical disabilities. They rescued a forgotten Tuskegee airman, battled obstinate VA bureaucrats, and provided solace to war heroes coast-to-coast. As Luis and Tuesday celebrated exhilarating victories, a grave obstacle threatened their work. Luis made great progress battling his own PTSD, but his physical wounds got so bad that he began using a wheelchair. He needed to decide whether to amputate his leg and carry on with a bionic prosthesis. Even as he struggled with dramatic emotional and physical changes, ten-year-old Tuesday was lovingly by his side through it all. Luis' death in December 2016 was another terrible tragedy of the invisible wounds of war. This book was his last letter of love to his best friend, Tuesday, and to veterans, readers, friends, and fellow dog lovers everywhere.
There was one lap to go in the 2001 Daytona 500, NASCAR's most
celebrated event. Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were
running one-two. Junior's legendary dad, the driver race fans
called "The Intimidator," was close behind in third, blocking
anyone who might try to pass. Waltrip couldn't stop thinking about
all the times he'd struggled to stay ahead--and the 462 NASCAR Cup
races he'd lost without a single win. He'd been a race-car driver
all his adult life, following in the footsteps of his brother
Darrell, a three-time NASCAR champion. And his losing streak was
getting more painful every race.
The "New York Times" bestseller that's "heaven in hardcover" ("New
Orleans Times-Picayune") for Saints fans.
