“The things I want to know are in books…”

-Abraham Lincoln

 

Journey with us as we read the pages of literary wonders that touch the heart. Join us virtually for a book discussion that encourages us to examine military history and how it relates not just to those who have served but to everyone. Our titles will change monthly and will feature fiction and non-fiction titles. The PMML Book Club is a virtual social gathering with special in-person surprise events along the way.

 

How Does It Work?

In a select month, a book will be showcased for members to read and discuss. PMML Book Club Socials will be hosted in our exclusive virtual Zoom room.

Lita & Gene Book Cover Imgae

Lita & Jean: Memoirs of Two Generations of Military Women

A shattering tell–all: the fight of this mother and daughter for themselves, each other, and the world around them is a painful yet riveting account of family, service, and love.

Lita and her daughter bare their souls with unflinching candor in this memoir. Forcing their darkest moments and the secrets of family, military, and disability into the light, their resilience and resolve stands as stark inspiration.

Written by: Lita Tomas and Jean Marie McNamara

Publisher: Master Wings Publishing

"It’s an honor to be able to share our journey, an incredible privilege to have this opportunity to extend our continued commitment to service and care in a way that’s more accessible and permanent. Creating this book was difficult and painful at times due to its unwavering reveal of our past, but it was worth it if we’re able to pass on messages of self-advocacy and action.” - Lita Tomas and Jean Marie McNamara
