THE WIVES A Memoir

Author Simone Gorrindo narrates her deeply personal memoir about life as a U.S. Army wife. Gorrindo's life is upended when her new husband joins the Army with the plan to become part of an elite unit. Having moved from New York City to small-town Georgia, she is left alone following his deployment and finds herself branching out to become friends with the incredible women who keep their families and homes together while their husbands serve overseas. Gorrindo's narration captures her loneliness, fear, and constant hope for late-night phone calls, as well as military briefings, and the stress of being pregnant while her husband is overseas. Gorrindo's deadpan humor shines through as she tells her own story. V.B. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
