As a writer for the Chicago Tribune, Author Julia Keller wrote a three-part series about traumatic brain injury. This experience, combined with the many real-life stories she was reading about American soldiers who were coming back home from Iraq and Afghanistan with brain injuries, was the motivation behind this incredible story.

Read my latest review on LA Parent. This book is called Back Home by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Julia Keller. It is a story from a teenager’s point of view about the return of her injured father from the Iraq War. It is so well written, I cannot say enough about it! You’ve got to read this, whether you are a teen or a parent.

Click on the title of the Ms. Montgomery's book above and you'll be taken to the Online Literature Library site where 5 of the books are now available free online. Or if you'd like a copy of the 100th anniversary edition, try Amazon or your favorite bookstore or library.

To celebrate the holidays we asked some of our favorite people in publishing what their favorite book was. Let us know in the comments what your favorite book is and be sure to check back throughout the week for more “favorites”.
