Jeanne Mills, a student at Life Skills of Columbus North (Ohio), recently had her children’s book “When a Father Goes to War” published by Nationwide Learning Inc., based out of Topeka, Kansas.
Mills’ father Grant, served on the Army National Guard Recovery Team from June 2005-June 2006 in Iraq, helped recover equipment damaged by attacks.
Her book deals with being separated from a loved one serving overseas.
“My dad was in the Marines when I was little,” she said. “(But since then) I never was separated (from him) for over a week. It was very hard.”
The 18-year-old Columbus resident started her work in March, when she wrote a poem for a school assignment.
The poem developed into an essay and then the book, which was published in December.
Mills said she wants to share her experiences with other students in the area.
