A powerful, intimate memoir of marriage and friendship that traces
one woman's experience joining a tightknit community of fellow army
wives after leaving her New York City job to follow her enlisted
husband. When her new husband joins an elite Army unit, Simone
Gorrindo is uprooted from New York City and dropped into Columbus,
Georgia--a town so foreign she might as well have landed on the
moon. With her husband frequently deployed, Simone is left to find
her place in this new world, alone--until she meets the wives.
Gorrindo gives us an intimate look into the inner lives of a
remarkable group of women and a tender, unflinching portrait of a
marriage. A love story, an unforgettable coming-of-age tale, and a
bracing tour of the intractable divisions that plague our country
today, The Wives offers a rare and powerful gift: a hopeful stitch
in the fabric of a torn America.
