Reviews for Waiting
Moore-Lanning suggests that there are indeed patterns that characterize one's life while waiting for a loved one to return from war. She describes these issues with wit, verve, and a unique and valuable perspective. - Deborah C. Kidwell, associate professor, U.S. Army, Command and General Staff College
