I listened to this in audiobook and I found the author’s narration dreary and unappealing. The pessimism and her whiny tone was off putting and even the good writing didn’t really save this one for me.

Boy, this book introduced me to a whole 'nother world, a world I have absolutely no experience with. I commend the author for her honesty, her unflinching look at herself, her husband and her marriage, and her sober observations of "The Wives." I slowly grew into this, much like the author did, appreciating the insight and raw emotion that was felt every day. I honestly cannot picture living like this, pretty much on edge for months at a time, unable to get answers or even ask questions. The relationships forged during the family's time in Georgia were honest, realistic, and felt true-to-life.
I finished the book with a new-found respect for our military families, and feel that a long untold story of the glue that holds families together was finally told.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher and NetGalley, and my review is being left freely.
