A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Beyond the Call of Duty - Bernard Fisher

This book covers the life of a man who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions during the Vietnam War. When a fellow airman went down in a dangerous area, he landed and rescued him.

It feels like the book spends as much time on his Air Force career as it does his family life. While a bit of background information on his life would've been fine, I felt like the military career didn't get the detail I wanted. It was more general information with some specific stories here and there.

I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. Part of that could be due to my expectations, but I just wasn't interested in the amount of faith and family information included. Fisher is definitely a brave man, and I'm glad his story has been preserved. This particular book just wasn't for me.
