Description
For This I Went to Afghanistan is an inspirational book of a mother's attempt to repair an estranged relationship with her young adult daughter that became a renewal of her relationship with God. After a bitter divorce, Linda deployed to Afghanistan as a member of the United States Army. She wrote the weekly updates to reconnect with her daughter, Tabitha. Tabitha ignored them at first, but Linda's friends and family did not. Her address list grew rapidly and soon Tabitha took notice. What Linda gained through writing the updates was more than she had ever hoped to gain. Reconnecting with Tabitha actually allowed her to reconnect with God in a very unconventional yet beautiful way.
