- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was given to me several months before I was married and became an Air Force wife. I am so glad that I read this book and knew some of what to expect in the days ahead. The book, along with some humorous stories that may make you laugh out loud, is filled with informative information that will make it easier for military wives new and old. The profiles of other wives that are at the beginning of each chapter helped me see that I really could be be a good military wife and helped me ease my fears about what was to come. This is an excellent book that I have already recommended to others.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Book written for/about wives and dependants left at home while the military member is gone so much. Encouragement book with a Christian slant.
