In this collection of military short stories, Mackenzie focuses not only on war but also on its effects on the military and military wives.
The plot of each story is not only exciting and often unexpected but shocking in its description of the emotions and decisions of soldiers, airmen and equally of their partners left behind.
The rawness of Mackenzie’s portrayal of military families is even more moving because the author was a military wife for over 15 years and her first hand knowledge gives her a wealth of knowledge of not only the day to day lives of soldiers but also of their families.
