A Young Woman's Journey Through War and Trauma

Sarah Jane Rhee was just 22 years old when she deployed to Iraq in 2003. She had joined the Army Reserve after graduating from college, and she was eager to serve her country. But nothing could have prepared her for the horrors she would witness in Iraq.

Rhee's memoir begins with her arrival in Baghdad. She is immediately struck by the chaos and violence of the city. She sees dead bodies in the streets, and she hears the constant sound of gunfire. Rhee is assigned to a combat medic unit, and she quickly learns the realities of war. She sees soldiers who have been killed or wounded in action. She helps to evacuate casualties from the battlefield. And she witnesses the aftermath of suicide bombings and other terrorist attacks.

Rhee's experiences in Iraq take a heavy toll on her mental health. She develops PTSD, and she struggles with nightmares, flashbacks, and anxiety. She also has difficulty adjusting to life back home after the war.

The Long Road to Healing

After returning home from Iraq, Rhee sought help for her PTSD. She underwent therapy and medication, and she slowly began to heal. She also found solace in writing about her experiences. In 2017, she published her memoir, War and Me. Rhee's memoir has been widely praised for its honesty and its unflinching portrayal of the human cost of war.

Rhee's story is a reminder of the sacrifices that our soldiers make for our country. It is also a story of hope and healing. Rhee's memoir shows us that it is possible to overcome the trauma of war and to find peace and healing.
