A review by a reader on Amazon says, “A captivating account of faith, courage and the search for enduring love is presented in a singular voice and style. Elyse’s poetry is musical and rich. Her story tells of her personal search for meaning underscored by determination and compassion. Her journey in war and peace is a vibrant haiku of adventure, longings and the disappointments these may bring. Above all, this is a story of faith; faith in her God and in herself.”
After being struck by what she terms “military urges”, Elyse Braxton enlisted in the United States Navy Reserve in April 2003. But it wasn’t until late December 2003 while on a second volunteer vacation to serve at the United States Army, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany that she was divinely inspired to become a nurse. And ever since, she hasn’t looked back. Taking on greater challenges and responsibilities, Elyse has gone on to win different awards for her service and achievements within and related to various medical areas of the military. Encouraged by her greatest cheerleader and fan – her mom, Elyse decided to write her book Haiku of Love and War. In it, she mirrors the core values of the United States Navy: Honor, Courage, and Commitment. She also spreads the message of love, to lead, to serve and to forgive.
