“Book Descriptions: “I looked over, peeking my head around the tire, to check on the truck behind me. I had just loaded a fresh magazine, and I saw Jake looking my way. His truck was right behind mine in the convoy. He gave me a nod, and I turned my attention back to the little farmhouse in front of us, and I thought this is one hell of a honeymoon. The smoke wasn’t quite clear, and I still couldn’t see under the overpass. So I just kept shooting, trying to be selective now, because I had already gone through two full magazines.” -Honeymoon in Baghdad excerpt
Heidi Radkiewicz' Honeymoon in Baghdad explores the challenges and joys of a new marriage beset by the horrors of war. Beyond the usual complications of limited closet space and awkward dinners with the in-laws, National Guard recruits Heidi and Jake learned that they were both shipping off to Iraq mere weeks after tying the knot. In the months that followed, intense heat, mind-numbing boredom, and the ever-present danger of roadside bombs and murderous insurgents forged this pair into a team that can take on the world.
Written with grace and humor, Heidi's account of this formative period in her young marriage is a lesson in the unwavering power of faith, hope, and finding joy in unexpected places. From bucket showers to palm-sized beetles, Heidi's message is clear: hold tight to the people you love, take comfort in the man by your side, and keep a look out for anything that can make you smile. Through the grace of God, adversity can pull you closer together.”
