You'll recognize Gayle Tzemach Lemmon as the bestselling author of The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, and more recently Ashley's War, the story of a unique team of warriors—women who could not be Army Rangers and Navy SEALS in their own right, but who answered the call to get as close to the fight as the Army had ever allowed women to be—including Ashley White, a beloved soldier who was killed serving her country’s cause.
If the book's status as a New York Times bestseller isn't enough proof of the book's power and popularity, Ashley's War was also recently nominated as one of the Best History & Biography books of the year in the Goodreads 2015 Choice Awards! And it was also named to the Commander's Reading List in the leadership category for 2016 by Special Operations Command!
Congratulations, Gayle and Ashley's War! If you've already had the pleasure of reading Ashley's War, we hope you'll consider voting for it and the many other HarperCollins titles currently nominated for the Goodreads Choice Awards. If you haven't, now's the perfect time to check it out.
