Reader comments about the first edition of Help! I'm a Military Spouse "Its down-to-earth tone made me feel as though I was reading a letter from one of my girlfriends. I was amazed at its depth and scope. It isn't another "bible" for hosting coffees and teas, or how to employ proper etiquette. Rather, it speaks of embracing various opportunities to craft your own inimitable life as opposed to waiting for the "perfect" assignment, next PCS move, or for your spouse to retire before pursuing your dreams." --Charlotte Wilson, Army spouse, Ft. Knox newspaper review
"I devoured your book, highlighter in hand! I would tell you how necessary your inspiring words are in our community, but I suspect you already know that. I will have to buy copies for all of my friends and I can't wait to get started on my dream board." --Jenny Sokol
"The exercises were thought provoking and really worked! I have already begun to see positive changes within my own life just from completing this book. I cannot say enough good things about this book!" --Caren A. Stewart, Ft. Lewis, WA
"The book is funny, inspirational and shows you that there is a way!!!! Since I've read Help! I'm a Military Spouse GREAT things have been happening for me! Go out and get this book now!" -- Nikki C. Thomas, Ft. Rucker, AL
"I read the book from cover to cover in two days (which is quite a task with four kids and a part-time job!)! I believe that every command should present this book to their service members' wives when they marry as well as offer it through Family Team Building Offices worldwide!!" -- S. Ealy "Domestic Goddess", Iwakuni, Japan
"I had this book sit on my shelf for several weeks before I opened it to read, because for some reason I couldn't get past the title. Once I turned past the title page I found the book to be one the best on the market today for military spouses because it is full of possibilities for this lifestyle with resources, ideas, stories of other military spouses who have made this lifestyle work for them. I have read this book and have turned down pages, underlined key points, made notes in the margins and a list of references to share with others." -- Roz Riley, Army spouse
"One resonating theme throughout the book is that the "perfect military spouse" is a myth. Let's all take a deep sigh of relief. Military life is what you make of it. We are encouraged to go for our dreams, find the keys to happiness, learn to accept help and more. Every military spouse should read Help! I'm a Military Spouse, I Want a Life Too. It is a great resource and will empower spouses around the world." -- Review by Carrie Lee Gissiner, National Military Family Association
"...To say that I read the book would be a serious understatement: I devoured it! The plain truth is that Kathie Hightower and Holly Scherer have compiled the most comprehensive text for how to successfully navigate through the military world while keeping the better part of your identity intact." --- Therese Mancevski at Associated Content.com
