an Air Force wife of 30 years, I love Mrs.Lieutenant."

but you read one that stays with you on so many levels. When you

period, it makes the unfolding story of these four women all the

"Miller captures the freshness and naiveté of those
women, all transplanted to an environment that forced them to deal
with new challenges."--Dr.

"I loved MRS. LIEUTENANT. Reading it brought back for
me, a military wife, memories of the Vietnam War era, when so many
of our young men were in uniform due to the draft, and memories of
what it was like being in the sub-culture of the military as a new
Army wife." --Mary
