Studies show that nearly 70 percent of divorces are initiated by women—women who are tired, fed up, exhausted, and unhappy. We’ve all seen how the media portrays divorcées: sad, lonely, drowning their sorrows in a bottle of wine. Lyz Lenz is one such woman whose life fell apart after she reached a breaking point in her twelve-year marriage. But she refused to take part in that tired narrative and decided to flip the script on divorce.

“A haunting, beautifully written celebration of found sisterhood.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A fearless, engaging, and important memoir.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“[A] gorgeously rendered peek behind the curtain of military life.”—Booklist (starred review)
A captivating memoir that tells the story of one woman’s experience of joining a community of army wives after leaving her New York City job—a profoundly intimate look at marriage, friendship, and the power of human connection.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

This second volume of Kirill Moskalenko's memoir of his Great Patriotic War begins with the Battle of Kursk. Don't be put off by the first chapter. Moskalenko's Fortieth Army played a relatively minor role in the battle, and I believe he added a bit of unnecessary detail. There is a fairly good and cursory exposition on Voronezh Front operations during the battle in a verbatim report from General Vatutin, commander of Voronezh Front and Moskalenko's immediate superior. Moskalenko's small role at Kursk was not a function of Soviet Supreme Command's opinion of his abilities. The Germans ...

Though Linda will have to sacrifice her medical career back home, the family jumps at the opportunity. They’d be crazy not to take it.

We don’t ever think of it from this side, do we? The battle not to get lost on the home front. Making all the sacrifices for the soldier’s calling. Imminently compelling, great storytelling, this memoir picked me up and placed me in a new world, where the wives matter, more and more and more and more. A sisterhood of affinity born of deep understanding and need.

The wives left behind
The candor and honesty with which this was written was outstanding. Gorrindo is an intelligent, sensitive talented writer. She made me feel every emotion she had. I look forward to reading more of her work. The only criticism I have is I think perhaps another narrator would have made it even better. She wasn’t terrible but a lot of her dialogue was rushed and hard to hear.

Outstanding
This book is a tribute to friendships,life as a military wife,and so much more. I applaud this author for narrating her book,which is what sold me on purchasing it. The beauty of your writing flowed so eloquently through your voice. The front cover of your book is one of the prettiest I have seen. I am one who always reads the acknowledgements at the end. You were so thorough as you wrote this final part of your book. I was most touched by the words you wrote about your mother,father,mother-in-law,and last but not least,your husband. All I can hope is that there will be more future books by you that your readers will be able to enjoy. Well done Simone Gorrindo.

War, Wives, Sisterhood and Survival
They say you can't go home again, but The Wives proved me wrong. A place of such familiarity, even the mounting anxiety welling up in my body felt like a comforting cocoon. I knew the cycle of deployment all too well. The painstaking beginning, the mundane middle and the excruciating end. I couldn't stop reading. I knew I had to keep pushing forward, knowing the inherent transformation happening in the suffering. There's no shortage of stories on the bonds of brotherhood in arms. But the story of the sisterhood of the wives, a war story equally its own form of survival, so often goes untold. Thank you, Simone Gorrindo, for giving the world a glimpse into the lives behind the brown fences.

Beautiful book cover
I came across this new release over and over again while researching memoirs so one of my three stars goes to whoever was in charge of marketing. Second star for the gorgeous cover. Third star for solid writing. The story itself is slow paced and overly descriptive about things that in my opinion don’t matter to the story. There’s no major character arc for anyone. It’s a well written diary. As an army wife who experienced much longer deployment a decade before this, I was very excited to read, but the plot left me wishing for more interesting stories. I think it could have been a 6 hour book instead of 12 and still got the point across which is just painting a picture of this particular persons feelings and having babies seemed to solve her internal problems. Nothing but respect to the author, I understand the feelings, but the story line was too slow for me.
