March 22, 1974, is a date that will be forever embedded in Nancy Hale’s memory. This memory of that day, like a tattoo, will always be there. It dramatically changed her life. Her journey is that of faith, courage and laughter. Being a Navy wife is an adventure that puts faith to the test with every deployment and change of duty station.In order for her to survive the pain of being a young widow, journaling became a part of her recovery, which gave birth to a deeper faith in God and the publication of My Journey. The challenge of being abruptly removed from their home as well as the joys and surprises of being reunited with their family pet bring laughter to what could have been a sad event. My Journey will bring to mind the reality of what the loss of a loved one is about, but also offers courage and promise to anyone who reads it.
