"Adventures of an Air Force Wife" is a memoir about one woman's life on various air force bases in the 1970's. It's a fascinating piece of Americana, and immediately transported me to a simpler time and place. Many air force bases are in small towns like Minot, North Dakota, and author Becky Corwin-Adams painted a picture of the atmosphere in such a way that I felt like I was there with her family and friends in the icy winter and the humid summer.Corwin-Adams touches on all the aspects of being an air force wife: the rewarding ones like giving birth to her boys and the not-so-nice ones like living just above poverty level. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading memoirs, or who is interested in the culture of military wives. Cheers to the men and women who defend our country, and cheers to Corwin-Adams for writing such a great book about them!
