Now You Tell Me! 12 Army Wives Give the Best Advice They Never Got: Making a Living, Making a Life Book Review

October 19, 2012 by Julie 6 Comments

I was able to review the book, Now You Tell Me! 12 Army Wives Give the Best Advice They Never Got: Making a Living, Making a Life by Sheridan Scott (Author), B.K. Sherer (Author) and Donna Lyons.

It features all different kinds of Army wives, including the wife of Retired 4 Star General Peter Chiorelli as well as the wives of wounded veterans and isolated moms.  It will be published on November 1, 2012.

This book is a great collection of stories from real Army Wives.  From their experiences marrying a soldier to deployments to helping children through the Military life.  There is a lot of great advice in this book from those who have been through all sorts of challenges with the Army.  Each of the wives have a different background and different experience as an Army wife.  I liked hearing the different perspectives.  Some of the info they gave I could relate to and others I haven’t experienced myself but I know of others who have.

The book is broken down so each wife gets her own chapter.  This makes it easy to read and I like that the first part of each chapter included a picture of the person telling the story.

Living as an Army wife can be a challenging experience for a lot of people.  It helps to know we aren’t alone and hearing others and their stories helps make the journey a little easier.

There are also some charts in the back which can help you understand rank, size of the different units, abbreviations and even military time.  This book would be an excellent gift for a new Army wife and even encouraging for a wife whose husband has been in a few years.

You can purchase the book on Amazon 🙂

 

* I was provided a free copy of the book to review.

    My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps
    everybody else encountering problems with your website.
    It appears as if some of the written text within your posts are
    running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let
    me know if this is happening to them too? This may be a issue with my web
    browser because I’ve had this happen before.

    Thanks

    Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download
    it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements
    would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got
    your theme. Thanks a lot

About Soldier’s Wife, Crazy Life

 

Welcome to Soldier’s Wife, Crazy Life! I am so glad you are here.

My name is Julie and I first became a military spouse in 2005 when my husband of 3 years re-joined the Army. Then, in 2014, he joined the National Guard. In January of 2024, he retired from the National Guard after 21 years of service.

During our time in the military, we got to spend 4 years in Germany as well as Tennessee where we now call home.

We have three boys and have been through four deployments together.

I hope that you can find support for your own deployments, PCS moves, or anything else military life brings you through my articles and social media posts.
