Böcker av Julia Torres

This second volume of Julia Torres' thrilling story takes us into the rough-and-tumble of an undercover narcotic cop's life-soliciting male escorts, rubbing shoulders with racketeers in dimly lit night spots, working an international hustle in Paris, and more-at a time in the her life when she's struggling with an abusive husband in a dead-end marriage, from which she and her daughter ultimately emerge. And then she learns that she is suffering from multiple sclerosis, caused by a drug she was ordered to take in Iraq to protect her from exposure to chemical weapons. Her tale is riveting and deeply inspiring-a true lesson in bravery and faith.

Many women are molested and raped in America, some no doubt on their prom night, but this brilliant, compelling story stands outin a category of its own. Julia Torres joined the United States Army, bound for a war zone, in order to get killed rather than open the emotional wound she had sustained, but, in the chaos of battle and surrounded by her very close buddies, found her life instead-and truth, the greatest weapon of all, to sustain her in it. Her memoir rivets and inspires.
