Highly recommended." -Bob Mayer, NYT bestselling author, West Point graduate and former Green Beret 2003. The War on Terror rocks the world, but Kelly McGowan dreams only of the exciting adventures ahead with her fiancé Matt, a new Army lieutenant from West Point. When Matt deploys to Iraq, reality hits.

The Roof Above is the story of a young woman's journey through war, storms, and secrets to find her tribe and the love she deserves.
Autorenporträt
Gail Dwyer graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1981, the second class with women. Her memoir, Tough as Nails, published in 2009, chronicles her experiences. Three days after her graduation, she married Steve, West Point Class of 1980. An Army spouse for decades, she is the very proud mom of an educator, a foster parent, and two Army officers. She respects and admires those who serve, and the spouses and family members who serve as well. Originally from Braintree, Massachusetts, she now lives in Mexico Beach, Florida, where she's the only old lady building sandcastles with her grandkids wearing a Red Sox hat.
