I thoroughly enjoyed "Ode to a Brass God" by Judith Johnson Lee. This novel masterfully explores the intricacies of the military community in peacetime, delving into themes of honor, identity, and the complexities of relationships. Lee's writing is engaging, and her characters are well-developed and relatable. The story seamlessly weaves together the lives of the Garretts and other military families, creating a captivating narrative. Lee's experience as a military wife and her doctoral degree in women's studies in military ethics shine through in this thought-provoking novel
