Simone grew up in a dysfunctional family and didn’t want anything like that when she married Andrew. Andrew enlists in the army and life can be hard. Money is tight, so Simone, who is a journalist works some during their marriage. She makes good friends with some of the other army wives. She talks about her day-to-day life and wanting to eventually have children.
The military life is not for everyone. I found from reading the story that it’s a hard life for all involved. Yes the husbands go off to war but the wives have to deal with everything else and be a rock for their husbands. I can see how therapy would be helpful for these families.
It’s interesting (in a sad way) how Andrew changes during his time in the army. From his language to some of his beliefs. It seems like that’s true of all the wives his husbands.
I really wasn’t sure how well I would enjoy the story because I prefer fiction, but it’s very well written. The story is so fascinating. I didn’t realize how hard it is on the family of a soldier. Never knowing whether your spouse is OK and not having any information of their whereabouts. I recommend this story, it was very good!
