"i'm not in the military, but i am an Air Force brat and i work for the Army; i could not stop myself from crying as i read this book. It's an examination of the sacrifices made by the families, especially the spouses, when their Soldier, Airman, Sailor, or Marine is deployed. Henderson illustrates the stresses placed on the families with personal stories, including her own; she is married to a Marine chaplain. One of the looming themes is the alienation that both the military and their families feel from civilian America - we're becoming an ever more divided country, where war is a distant thought to all but those fighting it and the people praying for them to come home safe. Henderson doesn't have an answer to this problem, but reading this book might open the eyes of American civilians."
"This book follows the lives of different women who have husband's deployed. (And I do mean different). I read this while my husband was deployed the first time and it showed me that I was not the only one sitting at home worried. I also learned a lot about the military in general."
"This book was given to me by the Chaplain of our former unit. At the time, we did not know my husband would be moved to another unit in order to deploy later in the year. So, I read the book without thinking it would one day soon apply to my "list" of experiences as a Marine wife."
