The Girls Come Marching Home Book takes us down the front lines in Iraq, where females in all branches of the military are still fighting despite the military’s ban on women in combat. Kirsten Holmstedt tells the stories of America’s fighting women, as they come home from Iraq and struggle with the psychological toll of battle while readjusting to life at home. In the women in combat book, these women may have left the war, but the war will never leave them.
