Summary
The waiting wives of military overseas endure a long, lonely, and difficult time with their husbands far from home. Houppert, a prizewinning journalist, spent a year among these women, and shows how they make some of the same sacrifices of their personal liberties as their husbands do, yet garner little of the respect accorded their spouses.
