In this dramatic account, award-winning creators Christina Soontornvat and Dow Phumiruk chronicle Tammy's journey.

Evoking Tammy Duckworth's spirited nature with sensitivity and joy, this uplifting account of a groundbreaking military veteran and rising political star will inspire readers to dream and achieve.
