Why read it?

1 author picked Momma's Boots as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

While most deployed service members are male, women serve and are deployed, too. I honor their contribution by including this touching book.

It’s a sweet conversation that provides a broader context for military work and assurance that Momma will return.
