Are you out there on the homefront? We invite you to be part of this space based on the book: Bombshells: War Stories and Poems by Women on the Homefront. The book is available from our distributor spdbooks.org and from online bookstores such as barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com
Synopsis
Bombshells: War Stories and Poems by Women on the Homefront offers a unique exploration into the homefront experience of 38 women who are connected to a soldier in some way--as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend or lover. Most of the stories unfold with war as the backdrop--sometimes it looms, sometimes it wages, sometimes it lingers from the past inside the writer's house. Some of the stories center on the concept of "home" itself, and the search for roots in a culture where home is constructed, and de-constructed around frequent relocations and deployments. Each woman, in her own words and style, tells a unique story, and collectively they illuminate the pathos of this unsung microcosm of American society.

Basically, Missy and I want to make a place for people to share their homefront experiences and to learn more about others. It is also a place to encourage others who might be struggling with their pre-deployment, deployment, or post deployment lives.
