Minnie Smith's new book "My Two Iraqi Patches" is a story about the author's sons informing her that they were being deployed to Iraq
Recent Release "My Two Iraqi Patches" from Page Publishing author Minnie Smith dives into how devastated she was to learn of the deployment of both of her sons on the same day.
FORTH WORTH, Texas, Sept. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Minnie Smith, who was born in the State of Mississippi and has four sons, has completed her new book "My Two Iraqi Patches": a gripping work that describes how the shock of learning that her sons were being deployed cause her hair to change colors on both sides of her head.
Minnie Smith writes, "When I passed by the mirror and saw the impact of the news of learning that they were being deployed, I said to myself, "I did not wake up with both sides of my hair having the gray tracks running down both side of my head." I began to write down often how I felt with what had happened to me, and I felt I had no one to talk to about what I was experiencing. I later learned in moving to West Palm Beach, Florida, that a doctor explained to me that my hair must have been the weakest part of my body, explaining that when people receive devastating news, the part of the body that is the weakest is usually the part of the body that handles the news the worst. For instance, if I had a weak heart, I probably would have suffered a heart attack. I don't think if I had not written about my experience, no one would have believed me."
Published by Page Publishing, Minnie Smith's emotional story details how the author was born in Mississippi and at the time it was similar to a third world country, and today is still poorest state in the United States of America. She always wondered how she could be born in such harsh conditions.
She took to books to see how others lived, and she asked her father why he did not move. His answer to her was, "This is home." She is the youngest of seven siblings and learned about life from the ones whom she was close in age to. Her siblings left the state with the exception of two sisters.
Smith describes in great detail how the war affected her sons, Leo and Ralphael. She provides insight into how it changed them and what led them to join the military in the first place. This book is a testament to the sacrifices of all veterans and their families.
