Written with honesty that stings, this coming-of-age memoir examines the meanings of family, personal achievement, and sexual discovery When seventeen-year old Jessica leaves her troubled home life, looking for security and camaraderie, she joins the U.S. Marine Corps, an elite military organization known to “take care of their own.”

Determined to win acceptance with her new Marine family, Jessica becomes a star performer, hurdling rigorous physical and mental challenges and thriving in the community she had sought. However, the chivalry of her male peers turns to ugly rivalry when Jessica, unexpectedly, out performs them and excels through the ranks.

Despite harassment, assault, and dirty politics, Jessica’s well-learned Marine mentality of “do or die” keeps her hardened and determined to make the Marines a career. But Jessica finds herself at a crossroads when she becomes reacquainted with her high school friend Jade, and realizes that being an outstanding Marine ultimately means betraying herself.

"A pop starlet fresh out of rehab, an insurance company middlemanager with an unhealthy appetite for baked goods, a high school sophomore with spectacular facial hair -- all sorts of American oddballs turn up in Tim Josephs' sly, off -kilter, very funny fiction. To read these short stories (some of them very short indeed) is to enter a strange territory where Raymond Carver meets The Onion. Brevity, soul, and lots of wit." - Jody Rosen, writer, Slate Magazine Drawing inspiration from the likes of Steve Martin, Ronald Dahl, and Woody Allen, Tim Josephs' stories are original, funny, and often times bizarre. Whether it's choosing a Halloween costume, going to the doctor's office, or even just commuting to work, Josephs manages to take ordinary circumstances and put his own unique spin on them. A Camouflaged Fragrance of Decency will keep you laughing and probably forever alter the way you think about cake. "Tim Josephs writes stories with just the right mix of humor, heart and truth. He speaks for anyone who's ever had a childhood, dated the right person, dated the wrong person or gotten older." - Doug Dean, editor, PortlandFiction.net.

Camouflaged: Investigating How the U.S. Military Affects You and Your Community is a tool for educators to help middle and high school-aged students explore the role of the military in their lives and in their communities. Local New York City teachers, led by the New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE), generated the Camouflaged curriculum with the intent of making it accessible to educators across the country in a variety of settings and curricular areas. NYCoRE believes that it is the role of educators as allies to young people to ensure that students have information from a variety of sources before considering enlisting in the armed forces. At this point in U.S. history, military recruiters have unprecedented access to young people in and out of school through a variety of mediums. This curriculum provides a critical lens to help students navigate recruiters' messages and to examine the role of the military throughout this country's history to the present..
