As a little girl, Teressa’s father dotes on her and little sister, Karen, while mercilessly mocking her older sister, Debbie. Teressa thinks its Debbie’s fault—until she gets a little older and he begins tormenting her, too. Soon enough, his verbal abuse turns physical. Her sergeant father brings his military life home, meeting each of his daughters’ infractions with extreme punishment for them all. Meanwhile, their mother watches silently, never defending her daughters and never subjected to physical abuse herself. Terrified to be at home and terrified to tell anyone, Teressa seeks solace in books, music, and the family she can find outside of her home: a best friend, a kind neighbor, and a doting grandfather. At first cowed by her father’s abuse and desperate to believe that maybe, one day, things will change, Teressa ultimately grows into a young woman who understands that if she wants a better life, she’ll have to build it for herself—so she does.

Two career Marines, one officer, Dan Tucker, and one enlisted man, Owen Callahan, cross paths throughout their years in the Marine Corps. Early in their careers, Lieutenant Tucker gets Sergeant Callahan and his family transferred from a tough assignment in the face of strong pressure from Dan's senior officers. Owen and his wife, who has undergone a difficult childbirth, are forever grateful. Later the two men serve together in combat in an ugly war in the middle East. Gunnery Sergeant Callahan is with Major Tucker when they are caught in a firefight at night. The major is badly wounded and Gunny Callahan helps get him to safety. Later they are both in senior positions when Dan is a regimental commander and Owen is his sergeant major. Their long professional friendship becomes strained when Owen's daughter Katy, the Callahans' only child, becomes romantically attached to the colonel, an older man who was divorced and is years older than she is. Now the only thing that can come between the two Marine comrades is their strong feelings for the same young woman: the sergeant's daughter.

"Most students of the American Civil War know the name George Gordon Meade, but few can tell you about the man. Rising from the Union officer corps to lead the previously ill-fated Army of the Potomac, Meade took overall command only hours before his forces encountered Robert E. Lee's Confederates at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 1863." "Historian Richard Sauers shows that while Meade led his men to victory in one of the most famous battles in history, he was soon embroiled in political battles with fellow generals and Washington politicians. Despite detractors' efforts to question Meade's judgment and smear his reputation - efforts often exacerbated by the general's own volatile temper and undiplomatic behavior - he continued to put duty to his country and his men first. When Ulysses S. Grant was named lieutenant general in charge of all Union forces, Grant made his headquarters with the Army of the Potomac and soon overshadowed Meade. Sauers chronicles the tense relationship that developed between the two men and the effect it had on the crucial last days of the war." "This concise but authoritative account is the only recent biography of Meade and should spark renewed study of one of the Civil War's most underrated leaders."--Jacket
