I m eighteen, Eric the Red lies to the Army recruiter at Hope High one spring day. A record twenty-three students enlist, including one foster-boy. This story documents their experiences in training and in deployment in Afghanistan. Eric predicted he would come home in a casket and he does along with twelve other lads from the town. How the soldiers deal with the dangers of life in a hostile country, how the families in the community of Hope rise above their loss, and how the returning soldiers and their loved ones including one soldier who chose to go AWOL cope with their challenges, makes for a gripping tale of action that is heartwarming to the end. Inside Hope is a novel that could well have occurred in any town in America. It bonds the families together in time of war as they reach out to survive their grief. Krista Sieger, who was born in war-time Austria, has loved to write all her life. She now lives in Utah. With her family raised, she has the time to devote to writing, and her grandchildren are delighted to find themselves in her first book, asabirdie.com. The author and her husband have eight children of their own and also adopted two sets of siblings, several of whom joined the Army and served in Afghanistan. One of them, Eric, was killed in 2007 in the line of duty. Alison Pack has a background in personal history production and has been delighted to collaborate on this project.
