Three words best describe Norma Ely-Jones' fascinating retelling of her life before, during, and after her deployment to Scania, Iraq: no holds barred. Expanding on the themes and stories included in her first book, Bye-Bye Deployment, Hello Enjoyment, Norma shares, in intimate detail, the challenges and successes of leading a combat service battalion in performing amazing, life-sustaining miracles at Scania. What follows is an honest and eye-opening account of Norma's and her husband's life and struggles with undiagnosed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) upon their return from Scania, ending with a harrowing recollection of Norma's kidnapping back to Scania and her husband's desperate search to find her. The result is a memoir that is equally humorous, gut-wrenching, sobering, and jaw-dropping.
