Confessions of a Military Wife
Mollie Gross
#8508 An honest, witty, and often hilarious look at the life of the new generation military
wife. A standup comedienne, public speaker, and wife of a Marine Corps officer, the author
explores everything about the “issued” spouse, from deployment and the stress of having
a husband in a combat zone, to the realization that marriage changes when your husband
returns home from war. Nothing is taboo or out-of-bounds, including the “parties” military
wives throw for themselves before hubby returns. How do they live? What is their day-to-
day life like? How do they interact? How do they deal with weeks and months of separa-
tion? The answers will surprise (and in some cases, shock) you. Evocative and provocative,
this is a can’t-put-down book that will leave you laughing and crying at the same time. 288

Coming Back Together: A Guide to Successful Reintegration
After Your Partner Returns from Military Deployment
Steven L. Sayers, Ph.D.
#916 When a partner or spouse returns from war, it should be a time for joy; but it also can be
a time of transition, challenges, and uncertainty. Your loved one, for example, may suffer from
psychological and physical wounds, experience “battlemind,” a condition that leaves them con-
stantly anxious and on-edge, and may have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If they are un-
communicative, you may feel like you’re living with a stranger, and struggle to recreate the bond
of intimacy you once shared. This book offers real tools to help you reestablish family routines
and build a stronger sense of intimacy with your partner after a military deployment, even if they are resistant to help.
