book_cv-2.jpg, image/jpeg, 227x335 Long Time Passing: Mothers Speak about War and Terror A moving portrait of what it means to be a mother in time of war... Military Mom & Author Susan Galleymore Hits Hammer Museum Exhibit "What it Is Conversations About Iraq" on Saturday, May 16th 3-6pm WHEN: Saturday, May 16th 3-6PM WHERE: Hammer Museum at the exhibit What It Is: Conversations About Iraq 10899 Wilshire Blvd (and Westwood Blvd.) Los Angeles, CA 90024 Phone: 310.443.7000 WHO: Susan Galleymore, the mother of a U.S. soldier, made international headlines by taking the extraordinary and dangerous step of traveling to Iraq to visit her son stationed on a military base in the so-called Sunni Triangle, north of Baghdad. What she found in Iraq challenged her to continue her journey interviewing mothers in war zones including Iraq, Israel and the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and Afghanistan—as well as in the U.S. These powerful first-person stories offer dramatic insight into the impact of war on mothers, families, communities, and cultures around the world. Long Time Passing: Mothers Speak About War and Terror gets to the heart of extreme social experiences—war and warriors, mothers and children, communities and cultures—and explores the meaning of courage, fear, and leadership. Susan Galleymore Author Susan Galleymore's son served in Afghanistan and Iraq. She is South African-born and now based in the San Francisco's Bay Area, Susan Galleymore continues to share the stories of those affected by war as founder of MotherSpeak, as a radio host for Raising Sand Radio, and as a counselor on the G.I. Rights Hotline. What They're Saying About Long Time Passing: "A good place to start this awareness is at the top. So, let me suggest that when you finish reading Long Time Passing: Mothers Speak About War and Terror you mail your copy to Michelle Obama at the White House. Perhaps she'll take the time to read it."--Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch, "American Mothers and War" "Eloquently presents the universal fear, sorrow, and suffering experienced by mothers whose lives have been profoundly affected by war." —Mary Tillman, co-author of Boots on the Ground at Dusk: My Tribute to Pat Tillman and mother of football star Pat Tillman killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan.
