Hey, thanks for checking out my book 'Youngblood!' It's a novel set during the Iraq War, but at its heart it's a human story. There's a murder mystery in it, a love story between an American soldier and an Iraqi sheik's daughter, and questions about the legacy and inheritance of armed violence. I hope the book resonates with you.
