I came across this book by chance and found it very touching. I have no connection to military life, so that was interesting to learn about. I feel that its real strength is as a story of young marriage/early parenthood. Though set in very different circumstances from mine, Sarah's story resonated with some of my experiences in that stage of life, especially the painful process of maturing beyond unhealthy dependence to a strong partnership in marriage. I admire Sarah and Dustin's honesty in telling it.
