"It is not easy to work, much less build a career, as a military spouse. I have friends who used to be attorneys, real-estate agents, chefs. Now, they struggle to redirect that drive." @_linapatton writes https://t.co/QqWA8Pb0Oq

I just read a truly brilliant and amazing first novel: Everything's Fine by Cecilia Rabess (out June 6). Incredible dialogue and characters so real that I felt preoccupied with them when I wasn't reading. I couldn't have loved it more
