This story was heart=wrenching and provided a real look into what happens to both a man returning from deployment and his wife as they deal and come to terms with their new reality. I appreciated Erin Celello's effort in bringing forth the reality that many military families face when their “normal” life comes to an abrupt halt and have to overcome the challenge of getting to know one another again and the ways the deployment shaped them into a different individual than what they used to know and love. I especially loved that both characters were flawed, which made them that much more real to me which in turn led me to become invested in their relationship. A very powerful story.
