Award-Winner in the Military category of the 2018 American Fiction Awards!
Delivered through flashes and snapshots like those from the lens of a camera, Model Marine is a fast-paced novel centered on Combat Camera Marine, Molly Monroe, a beautiful teenage model who abruptly abandons the small-town pageant life and traditional family plans to join the Marine Corps.
Far from her sheltered and protected life at home, and driven to "carry her own weight," Molly finds herself, and her camera, right in the middle of the gruesome realities of war. After she is wounded during a combat deployment, her memories become a kaleidoscope of scattered and chaotic scenes; a collision of her past and present, of love -- lost and found.
As the negatives and the positives develop and pieces of Molly's life come into focus, we're left with an engaging coming-of-age story of self-discovery, and an image of what it means to be a woman in the Marines.
