The Wives: A Memoir

This was an interesting an honest account of one woman's struggle to come to terms with her husbands pursuit of an army career and how it impacted their relationship. 

We see the beauty of community as Simone connects with other army wives as they help and support each other with accepting and loving with husbands that had difficult and dangerous professions. 

We also see the challenges of marriage when placed under extreme conditions such as a spouse or partner being continually deployed and not present in the home and how that impacts marital relations.
