Fighter Pilot's Daughter: Growing Up in the Sixties and the Cold War by Mary Lawlor Release Date 12/5/13 by Rowman & Littlefield I'm not usually into reading memoirs but growing up in a military family I was very interested in hearing about another person's experience. The author gives us a very in depth view into her life but also what it was like to live through those trying times! Very well written & I really enjoyed learning about a time I didn't know much about! Very interesting read! Happy reading everyone!
