"Gives the experience of a military childhood a weight many of us have never fully admitted, allowing our pain, finally,
to be saluted alongside our pride."
---
The Atlantic Monthly
"A comprehensive, well-written and moving study..."
---United Press Internation
"Mary takes the testimony of these children of the military experience and tells us what it means.
With her brilliant analysis of these far-flung anonymous voices, she lets us know that we are brothers and
sisters who belong to a hidden, unpraised country. To those of us without homes or hometowns,
Mary Wertsch gives us, for the first time, a sense and spirit of place."
--Pat Conroy, author, The Great Santini, from his introduction to Military Brats
"What a colossal achievement. I am completely overwhelmed...
I thought I had covered this waterfront both intellectually and emotionally, but how wrong I was... I was sobbing."
--Sarah Bird, author, The Yokota Officers Club
"Moving, provocative, inspirational, enlightening..."
--Barbara F. Schaetti, Transition Dynamics and Global Nomads

Featured Book:
The ground-breaking book,
Military Brats
, in print since

Temporarily out of stock - new edition in early spring
Author
Mary Edwards
Wertsch
, a journalist and Army brat, takes the original approach of viewing the military as a culture:
not a corporate culture, as some would have it, but a home culture for those born into it-a culture as
valid and powerfully shaping as any other on earth. It is through sharing our stories with one another,
she believes, that we rediscover our cultural roots.
Her careful analysis of our stories is revelatory: If you were raised in the military,
reading this book will help you find the missing piece to the puzzle--and understand your lived
experience as never before.
