Book Review: Get the tissue
Summary: 5 Stars
In this book the author gives a glimpse into her day to day life and what goes through her mind as she stays home raising her son while her husband is deployed. It details the emotions that most wives go through during the separation.I read this book while my husband was in basic training. I couldn't put it down. Even though I had not been through a deployment at the time I had read this it helped me later on when while he was. It's a real tear jerker though because so much of the emotions described in the book can only be imagined and understood by other military families. It helps to know you are not the only one feeling those emotions. I recommend this book to anybody that wants to better understand what a military wife goes through while her soldier is deployed and it is a must have for any military wife whether you face an upcoming deployment or you have already been there and done that!
Summary of Homefires: War through the eyes of a military wife
Homefires is the untold story of those left behind. The public sees small stories of families, but it doesn't begin to reflect what we go through everyday. The love, fear, pride, worry and ever present loneliness. My goal in writing this book is to let other wives know they are not alone. To not think you are the only one having these thoughts, feelings or problems. From the general's wife to the private's wife we all worry about our husbands. We have kids who are adjusting to their parent being gone and we all get lonely. Cars break down and toilets overflow, whatever the problem we deal with it. This is not a book complaining about our lot in life. This is a book that shows what our life is like during a deployment, and how extraordinary these women are. I hope I reach one person that feels better for having read my book. This is our story.Memoirs Books
