Reviews
"Compelling and ultimately heartbreaking...Montalv_n's ability, with cowriter Henican, to present the ongoing personal and bureaucratic struggles suffered by so many will likely inspire readers to become more engaged with the veterans community. Tuesday's Promise and Montalv_n's death are reminders of how much America still owes those who have served our country so faithfully. This powerful story has now become simply, and tragically, unforgettable."-- Booklist (starred review), "This is a profoundly honest book filled with vital lessons about loss, friendship, war and the loving bonds that can save us in our lowest moments.

Montalván and his dog Tuesday found each other, for in their story we see the possibilities in our own lives."-- Jeffrey Zaslow, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestselling The Last Lecture, "Compelling and ultimately heartbreaking...Montalván's ability, with cowriter Henican, to present the ongoing personal and bureaucratic struggles suffered by so many will likely inspire readers to become more engaged with the veterans community.

Every now and thenyou find someone who understands. Luis and Tuesday stoodtogether fighting against this enemy. Take a moment to understand this plaguecalled PTSD and read Tuesday's Promise .

Some of the struggles are painful to read, because they are so real, but that only makes the triumphs more uplifting. In the course of these pages, Tuesday truly becomes a hero, as does Luis Montalván. This book feels like more than a joy; it feels necessary."-- Vicki Myron, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dewey, " Tuesday's Promise is a remarkable,moving, and timely book, and it's another example of what so many of us admiredabout Luis-his relentless dedication to improving the lives of our veterans andhis boundless love for Tuesday. I still don't have the words to describe thesadness I feel knowing that Luis is gone, but I am so proud that through Tuesday'sPromise , he will continue to change-and save-the lives of others."-- U.S. Senator Al Franken
Synopsis
Following the success of his New York Times bestseller, Until Tuesday , Iraq War veteran Luis Carlos Montalv n advocated for America's wounded warriors and the healing powers of service dogs. In this spectacular memoir, Luis and Tuesday brought their healing mission to the next level, showing how these beautifully trained animals could assist soldiers, veterans, and many others with mental and physical disabilities. They rescued a forgotten Tuskegee airman, battled obstinate VA bureaucrats, and provided solace to war heroes coast-to-coast. As Luis and Tuesday celebrated exhilarating victories, a grave obstacle threatened their work. Luis made great progress battling his own PTSD, but his physical wounds got so bad that he was wheelchair-bound. He needed to decide whether to amputate his leg and carry on with a bionic prosthesis. Even as he struggled with dramatic emotional and physical changes, ten-year-old Tuesday was lovingly by his side through it all. Luis' death in December 2016 was another terrible tragedy of the invisible wounds of war. This book was his last letter of love to his best friend, Tuesday, and to veterans, readers, friends, and fellow dog lovers everywhere. Never more timely than now, Tuesday's Promise is an inspiring story of love, service, teamwork, and the remarkable bond between humans and canines., As timely as it is heartwarming, Tuesday's Promise is an inspiring memoir of love, service, teamwork, and the remarkable bond between humans and canines.
