About this listen

The extraordinary story of American special operator and trailblazer Shannon Kent, who hunted high value targets on classified missions in the most dangerous locales on earth while trying to balance her life as a wife and mother.

Of the 1.3 million active-duty service members in the US military, only a tiny fraction are selected as “operators.” Shannon Kent was one of the first women to serve at this level and was widely recognized as one of the best.

Shannon served as a Navy cryptologic technician, responsible for signals intelligence and electronic warfare, but her proficiency with language set her apart. She was assigned to a unit so secretive that its name can’t even be printed here, where she worked clandestinely to hunt the most wanted terrorists in the world.

Send Me is Shannon’s heroic life story, revealing the truth of both her work and the challenges she faced while trying to raise a family with her husband Joe, himself a Special Forces soldier. He and Shannon met in a war zone, their love forged during a special operations training course, their dedication spanning multiple combat deployments and the birth of their two boys.

It is the legacy of an extraordinary woman who rose to the apex of the military, working with the most elite forces in the world, lifting the veil from the life of a Special Forces family to share their duty, sacrifice, and humanity.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

A Stunning, Patriotic and Human story!

Shannon Kent was a giant among men. Her story is inspiring, grounding and extremely powerful.

That there are Americans like Shannon gives me faith in the future of this nation and this world.

If you finish this book with dry eyes, you weren’t paying attention to Shannon’s story.

Incredible Life

This was a well done way to honor a life cut short early. Shannon Kent was an incredibly smart, driven and successful service person, mom and wife. Learning more about her accomplishments and her service to this country was poignant knowing that she was no longer with us.

Certified Badass

Shannon Kent: sailor, SOF linguist, polyglot, prospective PhD psychologist, and mother. May she Rest In Peace and hope that her dedication to service is an inspiration to all young women.

One woman who stood tall - Amazing

I listened to the whole book in one day, I could not stop listening. It really gave me a new found respect for those who serve our country. Memorial Day will mean more than a cookout moving forward. Thank you to the Kent family for their sacrifice, Shannon was the best of us, hero and courage and love are 3 words that come to mind, this book will honor her.

Nail on the head

Thank you for writing this book and sharing this with the world. I can not thank you enough. To write this story of a selfless life of service. This book dispenses with broad strokes of idealistic heroes and paints a detailed picture of a real person making a difference.
