Just out of high school in 1977, her personal life already a mess, Tracy Crow thought the Marines might straighten her out. And sure enough, in the Corps she became a respected public affairs officer and military journalist--one day covering tank maneuvers or beach assaults, the next interviewing the secretary of the navy. But success didn't come without a price.

When Crow pledged herself to God, Corps, and Country, women Marines were still a rarity, and gender inequality and harassment were rampant. Determined to prove she belonged, Crow always put her career first--even when, after two miscarriages and a stillborn child, her marriage to another Marine officer began to deteriorate. And when her affair with a prominent general was exposed--and both were threatened with court-martial--Crow was forced to re-evaluate her loyalty to the Marines, her career, and her family.
