A memoir that tells the story of one woman's experience of joining a community of army wives after leaving her New York City job.
What The Reviewers Say
Gorrindo’s prose is inviting and fluid, and her storytelling is intimate and vivid. But while she renders her own history with insight, the other wives are drawn with less nuance.
Gorrindo’s memoir is a gorgeously rendered peek behind the curtain of military life, as she recounts reckoning with her husband’s participation in violence—and examining why his job exists at all..
A fearless, engaging, and important memoir about how one person’s decision to serve in the military affects their entire family..
Powerfully candid.
