"Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman won the hearts of readers with his moving story of adopting an abandoned puppy named Lava in a hellish corner of Iraq. For this Marine and his comrades, the puppy served as an important emotional touchstone in a grim and seemingly endless war.

Kopelman now writes about what it's like to be home. He credits his canine best friend with finding his wife---in the park, Lava began playing with her dog and the two owners met---and for keeping him sane as he readjusted. With the same intelligence and insight he showed in From Baghdad, With Love, Kopelman sets forth more than a dozen lessons, including: Life can change in an instant, but you'll be able to handle it; passion for something can help you tap into your most powerful reserve of energy; have a standard operating procedure for everything; and never forget who you are or how you got here. Active and retired troops, soldiers' friends and families, and everyone who has ever loved a dog will embrace this book."]]> 6395082 1 6583689 2009 From Baghdad to America - on Playaway total:2|5:1|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:0| 2 9 3 2 11283 3.93 625 193 114626 3.33 104 28 58123430 1127864 6395082 1608120317 9781608120314 2 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6395082-from-baghdad-to-america-on-playaway 4.50 2
