Reviews for The Valley of Decision
“Life for Cynthia Ann Quentero has been anything but easy. The loss of her parents when she was a young child; a paralyzing wound received fighting as a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan; and the emotional betrayal of a high school friend running for political office forces her to question her own life and faith. This inspirational, faith-based story based on love of country, family and friends, along with the importance of knowing God’s enduring love, brings Cynthia Quentero full circle. As she seeks to find meaning in her life, the reader is carried along on a journey to rediscover something never truly lost. Major Mitchell has done a great job of relating an inspirational story important to us all.” — Phil Mills, Jr., author of Where a Good Wind Blows
“ …Major Mitchell takes the reader through the veteran’s doubts and pain of finding her place in the world, and going through rehabilitation…(He) captures very well the insecurities and doubts of a disabled veteran going through life. Cynthia uses the same qualities that made her a Marine, as well as relying on her faith in God, to overcome life’s difficulties and find her way to a new life.”—Tom Alberti, author of The Gun Trail
The war in Afghanistan , like all wars, creates wheelchair-bound heroes. Lieutenant Cynthia Ann Quentero’s daily struggle to free herself from the burden of a wheelchair becomes involuntarily merged into the fringe of politics…Cynthia’s burden and struggle kept me turning the pages to discover a wonderful ending to an exciting story.—Wiley Joiner, author of California’s Golden Glory Days
