Summary:  "In this powerful memoir, a young woman loses her husband twenty years after her own mother was widowed, and overcomes two generations of tragedy to discover that both hope and love endure. Artis Henderson had dreams of traveling the world and one day becoming a writer. Marrying a conservative Texan soldier and becoming an Army wife was never part of her plan, but when she met Miles, Artis threw caution to the wind and moved with him to a series of Army bases in dusty southern towns, far from the exotic future of her dreams. But when Miles was training and Artis was left alone, her feelings of isolation and anxiety competed with the warmth and unconditional acceptance she’d found. She made few friends among the other Army wives. In some ways these were the only women who could truly empathize with her lonely, often fearful existence— yet they kept their distance, perhaps sensing the great potential for heartbreak among their number. On November 6, 2006, the Apache helicopter carrying Miles crashed in Iraq, leaving twenty-six-year-old Artis -- in official military terms -- an "unremarried widow." Artis recounts not only the unlikely love story she shared with Miles and her unfathomable recovery in the wake of his death -- from the dark hours following the military notification to the first fumbling attempts at new love -- but also reveals how Miles’s death mirrored her father’s death in a plane crash, when Artis was just five years old and which left her own mother a young widow. Artis chronicles the years bookended by the loss of these men -- each of whom she knew for only a short time"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
