Description
A navy pilot's wife shares a frank and uplifting chronicle of her family's experiences during her husband's deployment to the Middle East, in an account that describes how she spends her days with her two young children, interacts with other military-base families, and endeavors to explain their father's absence to her children without exposing them to the horrors of war.
