Home Front is the second novel by Kristin Hannah that I've read. She seems to pick timely topics that are highly emotionally charged. This one featured a woman Jolene Zarkades who is a wife and mother who also flies helicopters in the National Guard. This job is part time, only a few days a week and some weekends, until her group is called to go to Afghanistan for a year.
This is not a Pollyanna story. Shit happens. I think this book would be a great resource for anyone dealing with someone going off to war. It doesn't sugar coat the effects, which I really appreciated.
