Military Wife you are not alone!!! March 3, 2008
As an Army wife, having gone through one deployment, and at the end of the second one, this book made me realize that my feelings, and the things my husband and I go through, are natural. I felt as if this book described my feelings and my mistakes. It was a relief to read stories of women who have gone through what i have gone through. To those military moms who think that the wives cant feel what they feel just because we didnt give birth to the soldiers, you are wrong. We are the ones who have to hear their complaints, frustrations, and have to come up with wise words when they are down. Your love for your child is different and so is their love for you. You will always be their mom, just dont underestimate what it takes to stand by a soldier, be faithful, wise, and strong.
The Best of Its Kind December 12, 2007
I was one of the wives who remained in Baumholder during the deployment of 1AD to Iraq, and Jessica's book is spot-on. The events are real, the emotions are real, and these families are the real thing. I read this book in a day with a box of Kleenex by my side. It's the best book I've read in a long time.

This book describes it exactly as it is! I was at that post in Germany during that deployment and my boyfriend (back then, now he is my husband) was the Rear Detachment Officer. ( named in the book:-)) I read the book as soon as it came out and I could not stop crying. Make sure you have a box of tissues on hand. I am really glad this book was written, that way non military/civilians might be able to understand what it means to be an Army Wife.
Wonderful book! April 25, 2007

This was such a wonderful and insightful book. The writing was superb and the women's stories were heartfelt and very true to life during a deployment.
This is definitely a must read for anyone with a loved one not only in the Army, but any branch of the military.
Excellent book that portrays true emotions November 18, 2006
I loved all the similarities and differences of the characters. I could identify with each of them in some way. It was a nice accurate description of the emotions and feelings that go along with a long deployment. This book is truly brilliant and a must read for all wives, as well as husbands and others to help understand what the war is like from back home. I love this book.
