“I usually read action/adventure books that are typically called a man’s genre. So when I picked up Mrs. Lieutenant, it was a change of pace for me. I am a history buff, and I do enjoy reading books (fiction or non-fiction) set during historical times. Mrs. Lieutenant looks at the 1970′s, specifically events surrounding the Vietnam War, from a perspective that I have never considered before: Through the eyes of military officers’ wives.

“The author not only allows the reader to experience this historical event, but by the masterful telling of the story through the eyes of these women, she touches on societal realities that might make some people uncomfortable in reading (i.e., religion, racial issues, etc…) But in doing this, she creates a depth of character that really allows the reader to identify with, celebrate with, and cry with these women.

“You can’t read long into this book without pausing and contemplating what is going on in the lives of these characters. Often it’s wondering what it would be like to live in a culture where some of the things you are reading about really happens; at other times, you find yourself realizing that in many ways we have not changed a whole lot. But you do this, not out of an obligation to undergo literary interpretation per se, but because the book really does pull you into the story.

“When you are done reading the book, you realize that not only did you read a good story, but you read one that stays with you on so many levels. And when you learn that the author herself lived as an officer’s wife during this time period, it makes the unfolding story of these four women all the more intriguing.”

— Tony Eldridge, author of the novel THE SAMSON EFFECT
