  • 11/14 Ron Farina Book Presentation

    Please join us Monday, 11/14 at 7 p.m. at UConn Barnes & Noble in Downtown Storrs for Ron Farina presenting his new book OUT OF THE SHADOWS.

    Discover the stories of nine remarkable American women soldiers wounded while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. Based on hours of personal interviews, Out of the Shadows: Voices of American Women Soldiers pieces together the unique lives of these women who served side by side with their male counterparts in war-torn Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Out of the Shadows honors the legacy and inconceivable sacrifice of each of these women. This tribute is meant to honor all of America’s women soldiers, their inarguable bravery and heroism-and to lay bare for all the world to see the heart, courage, and sacrifices of the American Woman Soldier.

    Ron Farina is author of three books, including most recently “Out of the Shadows Voices of American Women Soldiers,” “Who Will Have My Back,” and “At the Altar of the Past” Other works include; Unsung Heroes, Keeping Promises, and Worn Torn, personal essays about the human cost of war. In 2021 he was awarded the AWP Intro Award for fiction and the Society of Professional Journalists, Connecticut Chapter first place award for General Column Magazine writing. He lives in Connecticut with his wife and two Golden Retrievers, Henry and Preacher.
