An ABE's Logbook

The book An ABE''s Logbook by author Stephen D. Phillips is a true story of accounts taken from his childhood and the written entries from his personal journals he kept while he served in the United States Navy from 1985 to 2005. The story begins in his childhood as he attended junior high school at Rosemont Middle School in Fort Worth, Texas, attending there from the sixth to eighth grades. These years and their events shaped and molded his life. The encouragement of family, with their love and support, guided him to follow in the footsteps of one of his older brothers and become a sailor. An ABE''s Logbook tells some of those stories, filling the reader with all the raw emotions of a young man leaving home and becoming a man, a sailor, and experiencing that part of his life. An ABE''s Logbook reveals to the reader the story of a sailor and his life aboard ship and all he faces, fears, and accomplishes, both dangers and beauty of the Naval ship and of the sea.
