The First Deployment: Interviews and Inspiration For Those Who Support The Military

Published on July 13, 2022 and available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble 

Here is the description: 

Presenting the stories of six military spouses who have faced deployment in various life stages along with pieces of the author's story, the heart of this book is to share real experiences with truth and tenacity. No topic is overlooked- mental health, miscarriage, birth with an absent spouse, the ups and downs of parenting, marriage, striving in the daily mundane, and finding significance in failures and insecurities are all part of this raw look into the life of military spouses. Delivering hope to the weary soul, this book is a must-read resource for all who support military service members.

My heart is so for military spouses to feel known, heard, and understood. My hope is that this book helps military spouse feel not alone and also provides some practical tips and advice.

Writing is therapy for me. I feel transformed, relieved, at peace when I write. I love the power of words and stories to help us explore our hearts and minds, to put emotions on paper, to speak what we feel and share experience with others, to challenge and be challenged, to inspire. It is my joy to share my writing with you.
