About this audiobook
From boot camp to deployment to PTSD, the essential guide for military families
When you enlist in the United States military, you don’t just sign up for duty; you also commit your loved ones to lives of service all their own.
No one knows this better than Elaine Brye, an “Army brat” turned military wife and the mother of four officers—one each in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. In Be Safe, Love Mom she braids together her own experiences with those of fellow parents she’s met along the way. She offers gentle guidance on topics ranging from navigating that first anxious goodbye and sending meaningful care packages, to finding comfort in the support of the military community and coping with the enormous sacrifices life as a military mother requires. Now updated with a new afterword, Be Safe, Love Mom is an essential handbook and a warm welcome into the Sisterhood of Military Moms.
