Men are so quick to tell us that if a woman reaches a certain age and isn't married that she is the problem, not them. I am here to heavily debate that theory. You're about to embark upon a true misadventure about one normal woman's savage search for a soulmate. It is me. I am "one normal woman." These unbelievable dating experiences have thoroughly convinced me that this man either doesn't exist or is stuck in a tree somewhere. This ideal man is not missing front teeth. He is someone I can take out in public who understands that "The Chicken Joint" doesn't fall into the category of "fine dining." His breath doesn't make my eyes water and he knows how to use dental floss. These twisted, dysfunctional tales about my quest for love are chronicled as told to my life-long friends, quirky colleagues, and erratic family - though you'll come to realize that many of those relationships are equally as disturbed as my dating experiences. While taking this comical stroll down memory lane, I fall over a cliff reliving the details of these outrageously unlikely dating scenarios and sensual slip-ups, along with my lively but borderline psychotic living situation.

Just out of high school in 1977, her personal life already a mess, Tracy Crow thought the Marines might straighten her out. And sure enough, in the Corps she became a respected public affairs officer and military journalist—one day covering tank maneuvers or beach assaults, the next interviewing the secretary of the navy. But success didn’t come without a price. When Crow pledged herself to God, Corps, and Country, women Marines were still a rarity, and gender inequality and harassment were rampant. Determined to prove she belonged, Crow always put her career first—even when, after two miscarriages and a stillborn child, her marriage to another Marine officer began to deteriorate. And when her affair with a prominent general was exposed—and both were threatened with court-martial—Crow was forced to re-evaluate her loyalty to the Marines, her career, and her family. Eyes Right is Crow’s story. A clear-eyed self-portrait of a troubled teen bootstrapping her way out of a world of alcoholism and domestic violence, it is also a rare inside look at the Marines from a woman’s perspective. Her memoir, which includes two Pushcart Prize–nominated essays, evokes the challenges of being a woman and a Marine with immediacy and clarity, and in the process reveals how much Crow’s generation did for today’s military women, and at what cost.
