Plenty of Time When We Get Home with Kayla Williams
In this episode of Incoming, author and Army veteran Kayla Williams talks with us about serving in Iraq as the most forward-deployed woman of the war at her time. She faced breakdowns in communication and morale both in-country, and then upon returning home in her marriage to a fellow soldier recovering from a traumatic brain injury.
Listen to the full conversation and more on KPBS' Incoming program.
