Reviews
"Gorrindo's prose is inviting and fluid, and her storytelling is intimate and vivid...[an] engaging, evocative memoir." --The New York Times, "The fineness of Gorrindo's insight lends her writing the quality of looking through a prism, the details of the world around her both magnified and blurring, as she invites us into the secret world of army wives and the hidden planet of her own marriage -- for what place is more strange and private and beautiful? This is a book about loving people even when you can't understand them, and needing them even when you don't like them, about being betrayed and unexpectedly saved, and ultimately about the power of human connection despite all our limitations. Gorrindo is a major talent." -- Rufi Thorpe , author of the PEN/Faulkner Award finalist The Knockout Queen, * "Gorgeously rendered...will leave readers thinking long after the final pages." --Booklist, starred review, * " A fearless, engaging, and important memoir...Readers will learn the true meaning of military service through the wider lens of its impact on families and communities." -- Library Journal , starred review, "Lyrical and poignant. An unforgettable memoir of sacrifice and determination." --STEPHANIE LAND, author of the New York Times -bestselling memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive
Synopsis
"[Simone] Gorrindo's prose is inviting and fluid, and her storytelling is intimate and vivid...[an] engaging, evocative memoir." -- The New York Times Book Review "A hopeful, unifying memoir." -- People This profoundly intimate memoir about marriage, friendship, and the power of human connection tells the story of one woman's experience of joining a community of army wives after leaving her New York City job. When her new husband joins an elite Army unit, Simone Gorrindo is uprooted from New York City and dropped into Columbus, Georgia. With her husband frequently deployed, Simone is left to find her place in this new world, alone--until she meets the wives.
