5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Representation!, February 10, 2005
I have read a lot of things and seen a lot of interviews done with women who ONLY want to complain. This book is NOT that. It conveys the strength and weaknesses of the every day life of a Military spouse. My husband is part of the 101st and served in OIF I and is now back for OIF III. Probably not the best time for me to have read the book because I cried throughout the entire thing. It was very true to life and I found myself identifying with EVERY story/sentiment in some way. There were some things that were EXACTLY thoughts and conversations that friends and I have had. I plan to buy more copies of this book to send to people that just don't understand the pride and the trials a spouse goes through. Wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, July 12, 2005
I cannot begin to express my gratitdue to Sherry for putting on paper the things we military wives feel. Simply reading the first few pages made me realize that I am not alone and that, in itself, was so comforting and reassuring. Finally, I can feel relief at the millions of emotions I have on an every day basis, knowing that there are thousands of other men and women in the same position, feeling the same way. Excellent book, honest stories, raw emotions-all true and to the core. Sherry, you have done an excellent job and from one military wife to another, thank you.....

5.0 out of 5 stars I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!!, August 27, 2007
The book was great! I loved it from the first page to the last. It made me cry through out the whole book, most of the book made feel as they were writting about me personally. I finished the book the same day so the only thing is, I would have liked it to be alot longer. After reading it myself I let my sister read it, she's not a military wife but I wanted her to get an idea of what we go through, and she loved the book. She called me in tears and told me she was proud of me for being strong enough to get through a deployment, and now she see's the military and their wives in a whole different way.
