#15 Home Front by Kristin HannahFrom a distance, Michael and Joleen Zarkades seem to have it all: a solid marriage, two exciting careers, and children they adore. But after twelve years together, the couple has lost their way; they are unhappy and edging toward divorce. Then the Iraq war starts. An unexpected deployment will tear their already fragile family apart, sending one of them deep into harm’s way and leaving the other at home, waiting for news. When the worst happens, each must face their darkest fear and fight for the future of their family.
I've read a lot of Kristin Hannah's book. They tend to be lighter, chick-lit so I wasn't sure if she was up to more serious issues. While she had more realism in the plot, other areas were still very chick lit such as the mother glossing over every thing bad and her sudden recovery at the end.
