Army Wives

Now a Lifetime original series: "A timely look at the impact of combat and military life on the families the soldiers leave behind." — The Washington Post Army Wives goes beyond the sound bites and photo ops of military life to bring readers into the hearts and homes of today's military wives. Biank tells the story of four typical Army wives who, in a flash, find themselves in extraordinary circumstances that ultimately force them to redefine who they are as women and wives. This is a true story about what happens when real life collides with army convention. Army Wives is a groundbreaking narrative that takes the reader beyond the Army's gates, taking a close look at the other woman—the Army itself—and how its traditions, rules and war-time realities deeply impact marriage and home life. "From tragic to bittersweet, this is the untold story of the wives of our army warriors—a powerful look for civilians and soldiers alike into the lives of women who each day embrace Duty, Honor, Sacrifice." —W. E. B. Griffin, #1 New York Times–bestselling author "[An] insider's account of the sometimes-lethal strains that military life puts on families . . . [Biank] makes sympathetic both their pride and their tragedies." — Publishers Weekly "Her very readable and thoughtful book delves into a rarely studied segment of the army and should be appreciated by a large general audience." — Library Journal "Biank has created a vivid picture of life today as a military spouse that may give any prospective bride second thoughts." — Kirkus Reviews
