What happens when soldiers who survived overseas military deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan come home? We might believe that once they get home, everything will be fine. Life will go on like it was before the war, back to normal. That's what the soldiers thought, and that's what their spouses and families thought.
The reality is different, because war changes everything. Returning soldiers are different. Spouses are changed. Children grow up and leave home. Then it's the next deployment, and they do it all again.
Bulletproof Vows: Stories of Couples Navigating Military Deployments and Life's Battles tells the stories of eight post-9/11 Army couples, exploring the challenges and demands of combat deployments, as well as the resilience of the human spirit.
This book is intended to shatter our assumptions about war, combat, and PTSD. Everyone who has served-and anyone who loves someone who has served-knows that war changes people, whether overseas or back at home. These eight couples navigated military deployments and life's battles, demonstrating their resilience and reinforcing their bulletproof vows.
