This month we are celebrating the military child—and while we’re at it, let’s remember the military teen, as well. Teenagers have enough to deal with as they navigate the passage to adulthood, but when you add a deployed or recovering veteran parent to the mix, life can be too complicated too handle without some help.

That’s why I was so excited to learn about two wonderful books written just for your teenagers. My Story: Blogs by Four Military Teens and Finding my Way: A Teen’s Guide to Living with a Parent Who Has Experienced Trauma. Both of these were written by Dr. Michelle Sherman, clinical psychologist and the director of the Family Mental Health Program at the Oklahoma City Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and DeAnne Sherman, Michelle’s mother and a teacher with more than 40 years of experience with teens.
