Choose hope. Our lives are dictated by hope or fear, so choose hope. Friendship is hard work, but we were created to live in community, no alone. Reach out to others. These are words to live by, as Stacey Morgan demonstrates. She offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of spouses left behind, either military wives whose husbands are deployed or astronauts’ wives who wait out 9-month missions to the space station. Here is a book that is well worth your time.

The Astronaut's Wife is a wonderful book that speaks directly to the heart of any woman, whether she be the spouse of a service person or not. She allows a peek into part of a public person's life, even those areas that usually aren't made available to the public. Read this one and reap. I don't often give five-star reviews, but this one deserves it.
