The First Battle is Yourself
After losing her brother to the streets of Brooklyn, Tiffany Addison enlists, not to serve her country, but to outrun her pain. What she finds is the Corps' cure-all for everything from blisters to heartbreak: water, Motrin, and a change of socks.
Boot camp is loud. Grief is louder.
Tiffany becomes fluent in the language of survival: sarcasm, toughness, and pretending nothing hurts. Raw, darkly funny, and deeply human, her story is about discovering that healing is a choice, not a reward for endurance.
