Description
It's an age-old axiom: if you don't support the war, you don't support the troops. And Peggy Logue couldn't disagree more. When Peggy's nineteen-year-old son, U.S. Marine Michael Logue, is deployed to a volatile area of Iraq, Peggy suddenly faces an alarming challenge to her mama bear sensibilities. She struggles to remain silent, desperate to protect her son. Peggy's protests, her stress over Mike's deployment, and her fierce pride in her son hurtle her along an emotional roller coaster for the entire year of Mike's tour. She asks the tough questions and demands answers. What she discovers, however, is human nature's predilection for violence. Only by becoming warriors for peace will war cease to exist. Intense, raw, and profoundly honest, Skin in the Game illustrates the human side of war and the daily struggle for peace. But even more, it is the story of the struggle of an anti-war mama bear and her son in combat listening, respecting, and truly loving each other.
