Mollie Gross learned the hard way to laugh instead of cry at what she could not control as a military spouse-and as she quickly discovered, nearly everything was out of her control! A standup comedienne, public speaker, and wife of a Marine Corps officer, Mollie explores everything about the issued spouse, from deployment and the stress of having a husband in a combat zone, to the realization that marriage changes when your husband returns home from war. Nothing is taboo or out-of-bounds in Confessions, including the parties military wives throw for themselves before hubby returns. (You'll have to read the book to find out about those!) More than one million American servicemen have deployed to war over the last few years, which means the lives and lifestyles of military wives are now front and center in the public's curiosity. How do they live? What is their day-to-day life like? How do they interact? How do they deal with weeks and months of separation? The answers will surprise (and in some cases, shock) you. Confessions teaches all women, whether civilian or military, that they can learn to find the funny side of anything by embracing the situation and changing their perspective. And now they can do so with humor and levity, and a little wisdom. Evocative and provocative, Confessions of a Military Wife is a can't-put-down book that will leave you laughing and crying at the same time"--Publisher. 606 $aMilitary spouses$zUnited States 606 $aMarine Corps spouses$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aMarine Corps spouses$zUnited States$vAnecdotes 606 $aMilitary spouses$zUnited States$vLife skills guides 606 $aMilitary spouses$zUnited States$vHumor 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aMilitary spouses 615 0$aMarine Corps spouses 615 0$aMarine Corps spouses 615 0$aMilitary spouses 615 0$aMilitary spouses 676 $a306.808835500973 676 $a355.1/0973 700 $aGross$b Mollie$01701797 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819168503321 996 $aConfessions of a military wife$94085819 997 $aUNINA
