    Basic is a collection of interrelated short stories which follow Sylvia Jones' progress through Army Basic Training. The stories track Sylvia's struggle to find her place both within the Army and within the family she has left behind. Numerous physical and emotional trials force Sylvia to confront her choice to join the Army. As her understanding of her fellow soldiers deepens, she begins to understand more about who she has been and who she is becoming.
