Аннотация
The emotional true story of a family separated by war. We feel for the men and women who are risking their lives at war, but what of the families theyve left behind? In gorgeous prose, a military wife describes a year in her familys lifea year in which her husband leaves for war and returns, and prepares again to leave. Melissa Seligmans son is a newborn, and her daughter, a toddler, when her husband ships out to Iraq. Starting with that day, and focusing on the months that follow, she movingly describes the balancing act her life has become: being a loving mother to her young children, with the haunting knowledge that her husband, their father, could be killed at any time. Seligman doesnt hesitate to express her inner pain. She watches her daughter acting out in fury. Then theres her own anger. Ultimately, though, she comes to accept her life and appreciate the strength and determination of her loving children and husband. Its a book to read in one sitting, and to think about for years.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more.
