Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book just to support a fellow woman in the military family, and a local to my town. I started the book and couldn't put it down. I was alone with my kids that weekend, so it took three days, but every spare minute I had, I was reading.
Alison made me cry, made me smile, made me hope, and made me feel 'not alone'. She tells her story from her heart and opens up the window into the military wife's saga, trials, and tribulations. The emotional ups and downs are specific and honest to her situation, and true to what many wives feel in this day and age when deployments are increasingly longer and more frequent.
Read this book to learn about what it has been like for her and many wives out there. Then reflect on your own situation - to grow yourself from within, or to understand what the family down the street may be enduring. Even if you don't live in a military town, you may have someone near you who is going through a similar situation.
Great job Alison!
