Sequel to Parris Island: A Woman's Memoir of Marine Corps Boot Camp
Tired of changing her major every week and drinking 40s in Harvard Square, Lisa Cordeiro leaves Boston to embark on an adventure. She enlists in the Marine Corps - a decision that profoundly changes her life.
After graduating from boot camp, she trains in the California desert and meets a Marine she could never befriend back home. Then, she deploys to Okinawa, Japan—a beautiful, tropical island where a nightmarish twist unfolds.
Lisa grew up in the Corps, as a woman struggling in a world of "A Few Good Men." After the Marines, she embarks on a solo adventure through Europe, settling in Paris, trying to leave painful memories behind and discover who she really is.
Join Lisa on her worldwide adventure with love, travel, and self-discovery. And see why sometimes, it takes a journey around the world to find what you're looking for right where you began.
