I'm a former military wife (the wife part is current, it's only the military part that's former), trying to find out where we fit in the civilian world.

About the title
In While They're At War, Kristin Henderson compares military life with going to Mars. When you return to the civilian world, you step off the spaceship and return to Earth for good, only to find you're out of place.
******************
She's right and we're adjusting. Welcome to my Earth where we still dream in Martian and search desperately for our place in the world.
