As the spouse of a retired member of the military, I loved the realistic details in this book! The author has captured how the spouse feels during deployment, when the spouse is killed and how a spouse suffers through PTSD. The active duty military members are thoroughly engaging characters, with their weaknesses exposed as well as their strengths. The main character, Harper Lee Wilcox, is a magnetic portrayal of a spouse who gives her all to being a military wife and mother. Her friend Allison Teague, with three small children, was the one with whom I connected, since I had three children when my husband was deployed. Wow! The memories that this book evoked were amazing! For those who are not military spouses, this book offers a mesmerizing look at what it’s like to be a military wife as well as active duty member of our armed forces. The story is one of hardships, struggling though the hardships and survival. I fell in love with the characters and the story and look forward to book #2 in this series!
