One of the fun parts of my duties at The Christian Post is getting to interview interesting people. Several months ago a friend of mine mentioned her sister was a writer and was working on “sort of big project.” A few months later I read where that same sister was the co-author of Bristol Palin’s memoir, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Not bad for a girl from Paris, Tennessee – not bad at all.<\/p>\n

What I found more intriguing in the brief time I spent with Nancy French was how she and her husband David met and married. Also, the twist and turns their lives took after he decided to join the Army at a time when most people are retiring from their military careers.<\/p>\n

Home and Away: A Story of Family in a Time of War, <\/em>is the title of their book and is written from David’s perspective of serving in Iraq and Nancy’s perspective of managing a household of \u00a0young children while looking for ways to pay off his law school debt (which is an interesting story in the book). Nancy has written other books and has a forthcoming fiction book that will hopefully be published in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Nancy and David now call Middle Tennessee their home and the region is privileged to have these two wonderful authors. The links to my interviews with Nancy are below, but check out the link to their blog too.<\/p>\n
