Critics Review
“Outspoken in her critique of the ‘Army machine,’ Ricketts celebrates the ‘secret sisterhood’ of soldiers’ wives, defiantly and desperately battling for survival. A blunt, bold debut memoir.”
“Outspoken in her critique of the ‘Army machine,’ Ricketts celebrates the ‘secret sisterhood’ of soldiers’ wives, defiantly and desperately battling for survival. A blunt, bold debut memoir.” –Kirkus Reviews “If you’ve ever wanted to know what life on an army base is like, you have to read this amazingly honest memoir. Though Ricketts is a self-described military “Real Housewife,” her experience is nothing like the cliched stuff you see on TV. We were completely immersed in her world.” –PureWow
