I read this book via an Amazon-US KINDLE
Unlimited download.
How many of you reading this love to
read romances? How many of you are into reading those which happen to fall
under the sub-genre of military romances? How many love fantasizing about being
in the shoes of the female protagonists in these stories, longing to be in the
arms of the man in uniform in these stories and the HEA you’ve always desired
to have with a guy who’s considered to be a hero in another person’s eyes other
than your own.
While these stories are wonderful to
read, there’s a reality which is seldom, or better yet, never gone into. In
this book Jen McDonald takes you from the realm of romance books and fiction into
the real world; the real world of which she’s a part of for over 25 years.
The blunt reality is not like in a
romance novel where you’re marrying the guy you love, you’re also marrying all
his comrades in the service he’s enlisted in along with a new way of life you
probably didn’t foresee or had imagined.
You’ve probably just wanted to settle
down, own a home and raise a family; but once you’ve become a military family
you go where they want you to go and when they want you to go. And even though
you might remain stationary in one place, your dear other half might be
deployed to G-d where with the dreadful possibility he might never return alive.
Ms. McDonald in her book has aptly
described how she’s managed to sustain herself and her family through the years
she’s been an obedient military spouse. With the addition of biblical
quotations and her own triumphs, the author tries to elicit her readers to
remind themselves that military spouses are not alone in their journeys.
While this book’s target audience seems
to be military spouses, this book proves to be quite beneficial to all those
who have friend that have a military spouse. This book is not only beneficial
to any woman who has a military husband, it also should prove to be beneficial
to any guy who has a military wife.
Given the extremely worthwhile intention
of this book, how can I not give it or its author 5 STARS.
