dc.descriptionAs a faculty member in the ILT department and Writing Director of UTSA’s military family caregiver group, “Writing Back to You,” I workshopped, edited, and submitted five stories that were published in “On the Move” magazine, a journal of the Military Children Education Coalition. The stories address the partial subject of my doctoral research (Porter, 2017): the Hidden Alliance of Blessers. Blessers can be family members, breadwinners, caregivers, teachers, relatives, friends and others who, with unique insight, perhaps because they have faced obstacles themselves, see the secret, hidden gifts in others that might not be apparent to them, and inspire them to advocate on others behalf.
