The Green Plate

by Jill Connett
“Moving is hard. Saying goodbye to friends is hard. Starting over is hard. In Jill Connett’s The Green Plate, discover how a simple plastic plate begins a friendship, helps friends say farewell, as well as reminds a family that time should not be wasted to know people as well as enjoy special times with friends as well as family. A simple act of hospitality, presenting new neighbors with brownies on a green plate, begins a journey of friendship. That same green plate becomes the farewell gift as friends must separate, a symbol of memories as death comes unexpectedly as well as encouragement to transfer on in the life of a military family. The Green Plate offers smiles, tears, as well as inspiration to begin again wherever as well as whenever the require arises to start over. Enjoy this tribute to hospitality, the military lifestyle, sacrifices, friendships past, as well as those to come. Jill Connett is from Talladega, Alabama. She teaches school as well as supports her husband’s military career wherever she as well as her family reside at the time. She truly loves being a military wife as well as mother. She has loved traveling to new places as well as meeting new people among the hardships that come with at all times starting over. She writes, “Thank you to all of my family as well as friends who have supported us as we’ve moved from place to place. I’m proud of my husband as well as what he does, as well as I’m very blessed to be surrounded with people who share as well as support our adventurous lifestyle. May we have numerous more adventures to come.” The Green Plate story helps capture the enormous personal burden American military families are bearing today. Meeting US servicemen as well as servicewomen in the field as well as their families back home, I’ve at all times been humbled by their commitment as well as strength in the face of very real dangers. Jill Connett gives a revealing window into the joys as well as sadness of life on the homefront. -Jim Sciutto, Senior Foreign Correspondent, ABC News”
