Tracy Dombrowski, military wife
This book was a great disappointment to me. Newly married and with a husband immediately deployed to Iraq, I was looking for books that expressed some of the feelings and experiences I was having to deal with daily. Unfortunately, for me, this book was overly sentimental with little of the real life thoughts and feelings of other military wives that I know and have talked with. The stories are true but they carry little substance or deep thought. I love and respect the military, their sacrifices and the sacrifices of those that are left behind, but this book was a huge disappointment. I would not recommend it to anyone else.

I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!!
The book was great! I loved it from the first page to the last. It made me cry through out the whole book, most of the book made feel as they were writting about me personally. I finished the book the same day so the only thing is, I would have liked it to be alot longer. After reading it myself I let my sister read it, she's not a military wife but I wanted her to get an idea of what we go through, and she loved the book. She called me in tears and told me she was proud of me for being strong enough to get through a deployment, and now she see's the military and their wives in a whole different way.

Touching
If you've every uttered the phrase "keep it real" you will appreciate this book. Sherry Hines keeps it real by providing a real life glimpse into the sacrifices military families make to keep America free. This book touched me like no other. Homefires is an emotional roll-a-coaster ride that will inspire you to give your time, emotion and resources to help military families cope with the stress and separation that unfortunately pulls many American families apart.
