SUMMARY:Readers Choice Book Club
DESCRIPTION:In Every Day Is a Gift\, Tammy Duckworth takes readers through the amazing—and amazingly true—stories from her incomparable life. In November of 2004\, an Iraqi RPG blew through the cockpit of Tammy Duckworth’s U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter. The explosion\, which destroyed her legs and mangled her right arm\, was a turning point in her life. But as Duckworth shows in Every Day Is a Gift\, that moment was just one in a lifetime of extraordinary turns. \nThe biracial daughter of an American father and a Thai-Chinese mother\, Duckworth faced discrimination\, poverty\, and the horrors of war—all before the age of 16. As a child\, she dodged bullets as her family fled war-torn Phnom Penh. As a teenager\, she sold roses by the side of the road to save her family from hunger and homelessness in Hawaii. Through these experiences\, she developed a fierce resilience that would prove invaluable in the years to come. \nEvery Day is a Gift: A Memoir by Tammy Duckworth (DB103255) \nHeld virtually by calling number 612-843-2594 and by entering ID 79521565#.
