This book was nothing like I expected it to be, in an absolutely positive way. After reading the description, I was expecting the typical bored housewife having an affair, maybe true love, some drama thrown in with the unusual circumstance being that she lived on a military base. Wow, was I ever surprised! I began reading only to discover that a man was telling the story! Not just any man either, but a young, single and devoted military father who was doing whatever it took to make the best life for both his son and himself.  The story tells an incredibly thought provoking, elevated, emotionally charged and twist filled roller coaster of one mans journey to discover what and who he truly is.  I found myself smiling, laughing and crying along with each happy and tragic event that were so vividly portrayed on each page. Throughout the entire story, the author would be speaking of his deeds as if they were just common everyday occurrences. I would disagree with him completely. He deserves to know that each person he smiled at when he was fighting his roughest patches made a difference. That each laugh he gave brightened a night. His work outside the military will have a lasting effect on many, esp. his words in this book. It is truly an uplifting and enlightening story. One of the best I have read.I received a copy of this book from Reader Spoils for review.
