Do you know a child who has been separated from a parent? I know how that feels. I've been there and I wrote this story for that young person. This personal account will help that child and that family talk about this difficult issue.
Quotes:
The Knock is an honest reflection of the realities most military families must work through. Although the setting takes place over 50 years ago, the raw feelings can be understood by every little girl or boy who has ever had a military parent leave home. Military service is a sacrifice felt by entire families, not just individuals. The Knock connects children of every age and background around the world who remain at home and wait for their parent's return from fulfilling their military service.
Michelle B. Mastrobattista, Captain, US Army
This is a caring and sensitive story which describes, in heartfelt detail, what it's like for a young girl when her dad is deployed to a faraway place on active military duty. Day-to-day family coping skills, the strength of supportive relatives, and the worries about her seriously wounded father after his return home are all voiced by a child who lived this scenario. The story's positive outcome will bring comfort to children in similar circumstances. Highly recommended for parents and children to read together, The Knock will surely stimulate some constructive and helpful family conversations.
