I was born an Army Brat. I accompanied my army officer father all over the world until he retired in 1958. I have crafted my non-fiction book, Once a Brat, Always a Brat, out of my experiences of the first 20 years of my life. The first half could be called "part travelogue, part therapy session" and the second part is my assessment of why military brats are the way we are. It has been called, "A field manual for understanding military brats."
