MeetHagar, the Chinook-flying husband frequently on secret missions in Afghan, and the children, a son, The Grenade, and, a daughter, The Menace.Listen to accounts of the handbag-bashing, bake-offs and backstabbing that conceal the isolated and unpleasant truth of the life for wives and girlfriends, the long celibate months alone with the kids waiting for news from the war zone, and Hagars return, when, addicted to the high-octane thrill of combat, he is in need of action at home. This is a roller-coaster ride of laughs and home truths that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Critic Reviews:

"Our lives pale into insignificance and the army does feel like your husband's mistress. Let's hope this book starts to change the attitude. Well done." (Amazon reader)

"I downloaded it on my i-Pad ... that was two and a half hours ago! I could not put the book/i-Pad down (I even agreed to a whole Easter egg for my daughter's breakfast!). This is one of the best, funniest and honest books I have read in a long time! A definitive must for all Forces wives!" (Amazon reader)

"A great insight to the domestic front of a military mum that I could really relate to. Clare has managed to articulate with good humour how I also feel about being a feminist military wife, but [she is] far more brave and bold in having the balls to publish it despite a lot of criticism."(Amazon reader)

"I read this book in less than two hours and I'm waiting for the next one. It should remind us that behind those who serve in uniform there are those who serve on the domestic front: sometimes that's hard, sometimes it's great. This is a highly personal, interesting and entertaining read." (Amazon reader)

Not Your Average Military Spouse

I'm not a military wife but if I was I imagine I might be as outspoken, honest and direct as Clare.

This book is a great read. It opens the reader's eyes to what life is like at home for a milspouse with kids to raise, a job to finish, and all of the little things the rest of us take for granted every day. And it's all done with one parent home most of the time. It can be hard to read if you think today's military wives should stay home and create an idyllic world for the deployed husband to return to. Is there such a place anymore? Not in the U.S. and not in the U.K.

The material for the book comes from Clare's blog which she still writes today. It is written in the open minded, free spirited and direct way she speaks. It's funny, heartbreaking, heart warming and the plain truth. A must read for new military spouses or anyone who wants to know how a military wife manages life whilst her husband is deployed. We need more books like this one.
