Debut author Simone Gorrindo joins Zibby to discuss THE WIVES, a fearless, gripping, and gorgeously rendered memoir (and Book of the Month Club pick!) about her experience of joining a community of Army wives after her husband joins an elite Army unit and uproots her New York City life. Simone describes her journey from big city editor to Georgia army wife, highlighting the dramatic identity shift and the strong bonds she unexpectedly formed with other military spouses. She touches on her personal experiences during 9/11, her husband’s decision to join the military, and the challenges and surprises of military life. Ultimately, she reflects on the importance of finding your people and building your community together.
