When her mother is hospitalized with a life threatening delivery of a premature baby, eleven year-old Maggie Blanchard eagerly assumes command of her glamorous father's rambunctious houselhold with startling consequences in this poignant, laugh out loud coming of age story. First Reveille is set in the one regiment post of Fort Missoula, Montana, and captures the masculine culture of Infantrymen, boxers and hunters in the pre-WWII military life of the Great Depression as seen through the eyes of a highly perceptive but innocent young girl.
