The wives [large print] : a memoir / Simone Gorrindo.
"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. When her new husband joins an elite Army unit, Simone Gorrindo is uprooted from New York City and dropped into Columbus, Georgia -- a town so foreign she might as well have landed on the moon. With her husband frequently deployed, Simone is left to find her place in this new world, alone -- until she meets the wives. Gorrindo gives us an intimate look into the inner lives of a remarkable group of women and a tender, unflinching portrait of a marriage. A love story, an unforgettable coming-of-age tale, and a bracing tour of the intractable divisions that plague our country today, The Wives offers a rare and powerful gift: a hopeful stitch in the fabric of a torn America."-- Provided by publisher.
