| Publisher Description: I never saw myself as a soldier. I always imagined myself doing many different things, but this one was not one of them. My senior year in high school I planned everything out. It was nothing like this. Life has a funny way of changing your plans. Author Ramon Carrasco joined the U.S Army as a last resort, eager to leave the boring normalcy of Big Lake, Texas, and to make a fresh start. But he struggles to find his place in the military. Shipped off to Seoul, Korea, he must learn to deal with the absence of important people in his life, mainly his family, and come to terms with old relationships while making new ones. Army Life details Carrasco's quest to discover his purpose in life. In doing so, he finds out that the Army is not what he thought it would be, and that people are not always who they appear to be. Faced with new challenges, Carrasco learns more about who he is and why his life has led him to this point. Will Carrasco's personal struggles and being in the Army overwhelm him, or will his strong spirit see him through? |
