$10.00

       In the Fall of 1990, Dianah Kwiatkowski, a 47-year old experienced intensive care nurse, wife, mother and grandmother, enlisted in the Army Reserve to avail herself of the educational benefits offered by the military. Three months later, she was deployed to serve in the Persian Gulf War. In this compelling account we follow Dianah's extraordinary journey from middle-class America to service in a tent, in a field hospital, in the desert, and witness first hand events that changed her life forever.    

      This is the true story of  single parent and Army Reserve Nurse, Sergeant Sara Raye, whose ex-husband illegally manipulated the courts in another state and stole custody of her three children, while she served in Saudi Arabia. Seventeen civilian lawyers told her she had lost her children and there was nothing she could do. It wasn't until she cited the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act and went public with her story that the military, in two unprecedented moves, jumped in to right a wrong. This compelling story is of a mother's love and determination to fight for her children and never give up, no matter what the odds.
