Honeymoon in Baghdad
ISBN: 1947368753 OCLC: 1042563952

Business Ghost 2018

Have you ever heard of a married couple fighting in a war, together? Marriage is hard enough when dealing with the normal, everyday scenarios that life gives you. Imagine being thrown into a battle zone with your spouse. How would your marriage fare? Would it make you stronger? Would it bring you closer together or further apart? Heidi Radkiewicz' Honeymoon in Baghdad explores the challenges and joys of a new marriage beset by the horrors of war. 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.
