Upon their arrival, though, the couple find themselves plunged into a labyrinthine and, at times, seemingly bizarre world of military rules and regulations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEventually, after the funeral and the memorial services are over, an even more challenging journey--emotionally as well as geographically--ensues, especially for Margaret, who, as a former journalist, is determined to find out more about the circumstances surrounding her son's death, no matter how high the cost. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs she enters her second year of grieving, Thomson receives an unexpected invitation from an unlikely source--the army, which she's often blamed in many ways, whether fairly or not, for her son's death. Seizing upon this opportunity, Thomson finds that her perspective is changed--literally--and that as a result the world does indeed look different now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Thomson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1631526936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631526930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e She Writes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Franklin Award - Gold Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"Margaret Thomson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979452743935,"sku":"9781631526930","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70df8e9c-b7f8-46c4-9586-d5ae93af5864.jpg?v=1683245625","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-looks-different-now-margaret-thomson-9781631526930","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
