Today We Go Home by Kelli Estes

Title:  Today We Go Home

Author: Kelli Estes

Review: After tragedy strikes her unit in Afghanistan, Larkin Bennet returns to her home in  Washington to recover from the experience and the loss of her best friend and fellow soldier, Sarah.

Among Sarah’s possessions she discovers a diary belonging to an ancestor, Emily, who disguised as a man, fought as a soldier in the Civil War.

The story draws travels between the war Emily fought in and the experiences Larkin endured as a soldier in Afghanistan. 

An interesting read from the standpoint of history as well as the female perspective on a life of the soldier.
