In Harm’s Way

Although In Harm’s Way is grounded in personal experience, it is by no means a mere memoir or protest. Rather, it is a comprehensive, easy-to-read guide to obtaining benefits written expressly for veterans and their families. Filled with horrifying but true facts about the senseless operations of veterans’ affairs departments, Thornton’s work is long past due as she lends voice to those without hope. Thornton’s bravery both in battling for her husband’s health and in dedicating herself to helping others is beyond commendable; she clearly is a new variety of hero.
