A raw and honest account of life in the military — the sacrifices, the relocations, the loneliness, and the love that kept a family together. Cheryl writes for every military spouse who was told to "suck it up and hurry up and wait," and for every single mother who found her strength when she had no other choice.
This is not just her story. It may very well be yours.
"They even tell you the lies. So that, if I had to do it over again, I would do it over again 100 times. I love military life. I really do. But the military gave you the choice — and this is how they say it. Suck it up. Hurry up. And wait."
"This book made me feel so seen. As a military spouse myself, I never expected someone to put my exact feelings into words. Cheryl's honesty and warmth come through on every page."
