"This book will have you laughing so hard you cry... As Confessions aptly demonstrates, military spouses lead interesting lives." -- Tara E. Crooks, cofounder of Army Wife Network

As the wife of a Marine Corps officer, Mollie Gross learned the hard way to laugh instead of cry at what she could not control -- and as she quickly discovered, nearly everything was out of her control.

A standup comedienne, Mollie explores everything about the "issued" spouse, from deployment and the stress of having a husband in a combat zone, to the realization that marriage changes when your husband returns home from war. Nothing is taboo or out-of-bounds in this funny, poignant memoir, including the "parties" military wives throw for themselves before hubby returns. (You'll have to read the book to find out about those.)

"Mollie Gross is the Chelsea Handler of the milspouse community. She's unfiltered, honest, and hilarious, with an underlying message to stop whining and be proud. Think of it as heartfelt humor for the home front." -- Military Spouse magazine

"Mollie's no-holds-barred account of what it was like during her first four years of being married to a Marine, dealing with the moves, wartime deployments, and life on the home front, will leave you laughing, crying, and shaking your head in disbelief asking, 'Did she really just say that!?'" -- Kristine Schellhaas, founder of USMC Life
