Mrs.
Lieutenant:
A Sharon Gold Novel by
Phyllis Zimbler Miller
They had
their whole lives to look forward to if only their husbands could
survive Vietnam.
In the spring of
1970 – right after the Kent State National Guard shootings and
President Nixon’s two-month incursion into Cambodia – four newly
married young women come together at Ft. Knox Kentucky, when their
husbands go on active duty as officers in the US Army. Different as
these four women are, they have one thing in common: Their
overwhelming fear that, right after these nine weeks of training,
their husbands could be shipped out to Vietnam – and they could
become war widows.
Sharon is a Northern Jewish anti-war protester who fell in love with
an ROTC cadet; Kim is a Southern Baptist whose husband is intensely
jealous; Donna is a Puerto Rican who grew up in an enlisted man’s
family; and Wendy is a Southern black whose parents have sheltered
her from the brutal reality of racism America. Read Mrs. Lieutenant
to discover what happens as these women overcome their prejudices,
reveal their darkest secrets, and are initiated into their new lives
as army officer’s wives during the turbulent Vietnam War period.
