Wendy Tate: A beautiful woman and a damned good nurse - who had been just learning to flirt when Yuma was lacing up combat boots. Medevac helicopter pilot Billy Joe Yuma knew what the sound of his chopper did to the vets who hid in the Rocky Mountains. He knew, because he'd once lived in those hills, a soldier for whom the war wouldn't end. And though emergency flight nurse Wendy Tate deserved a chest full of medals for trying, he was sure she could never breathe hope into a heart that hadn't made it home. But Yuma was about to learn just how wrong he could be.

“A must-read about an American patriot whose courage and determination will have a lasting impact on the future of our Armed Forces and the nation.”—Senator John McCainOn July 29, 2009, Air National Guard major Mary Jennings “MJ” Hegar was shot down while on a Medevac mission on her third tour in Afghanistan. Despite being wounded, she fought the enemy and saved the lives of her crew and their patients. But soon she would face a new battle: to give women who serve on the front lines the credit they deserve...   After being commissioned into the U.S. Air Force, MJ Hegar was selected for pilot training by the Air National Guard, finished at the top of her class, then served three tours in Afghanistan, flying combat search-and-rescue missions, culminating in a harrowing rescue attempt that would earn MJ the Purple Heart as well as the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor Device.   But it was on American soil that Hegar would embark on her greatest challenge—to eliminate the military’s Ground Combat Exclusion Policy, which kept female armed service members from officially serving in combat roles despite their long-standing record of doing so with honor.   In Shoot Like a Girl, MJ takes the reader on a dramatic journey through her military career: an inspiring, humorous, and thrilling true story of a brave, high-spirited, and unforgettable woman who has spent much of her life ready to sacrifice everything for her country, her fellow man, and her sense of justice.       SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTUREINCLUDES PHOTOS
