She is a conscientious objector stuck in a National Guard uniform during the War on Terror. When the call comes to ship out, she faces the biggest quandary of her life: abandon some of the most caring and brave Americans she's ever met, or follow her moral compass, no matter the consequences. This first-of-its kind memoir is about the struggle to do the right thing when right and wrong is not black and white. It's about forbidden romances, moral mind games, and the Army's unnerving ability to function like a family. It's a story about a girl who made a bad choice and had to stand up against a male-dominated apparatus so powerful it has its own laws. It's about digging under those walls and coming out with something to say about the sanctity of youth and a freedom that is truly free. In 2020 Breaking Cadence won the NYC Big Book Award for memoir. Here is some of the praise for the book: "It's hard to believe that a 17-year-old who can't vote or drink can go to war. Del Duca's experience as one of those teens - who joined the National Guard to pay for college and then finds herself on the verge of being sent to fight a war she thinks is morally wrong - is as harrowing as they come. I was riveted by her story and her strength." --Julia Scheeres, author of NYT bestseller Jesus Land and A Thousand Lives "Rosa is a beautiful storyteller as she unravels the ugly truths about good intentions twisted and used by the violent and careless system. Reading her book is the seed of inspiration we all need as we learn about the systems we live within and how violent they can be to others. It is time to divest from war and invest ourselves in a culture of peace. Rosa lays the bread crumbs for us to follow." --Jodie Evans, co- founder and director of CODEPINK 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Del Duca, Rosa. 610 10 California.|bNational Guard|vBiography. 610 20 California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. |bArmy ROTC|vBiography. 650 0 Iraq War, 2003-2011|xConscientious objectors|zUnited States|vBiography. 700 1 Del Duca, Rosa. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14625165?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ aut_9781667924748_180.jpeg
