About the Book
A captivating memoir that tells the story of one woman’s experience of joining a community of army wives after leaving her New York City job --- a profoundly intimate look at marriage, friendship and today’s America.
When her new husband joins an elite Army unit, Simone Gorrindo is uprooted from New York City and dropped into Columbus, Georgia --- a town so foreign she might as well have landed on the moon. With her husband frequently deployed, she is left to find her place in this new world, alone --- until she meets the wives.
Gorrindo gives us an intimate look into the inner lives of a remarkable group of women and a tender, unflinching portrait of a marriage. A love story, an unforgettable coming-of-age tale, and a bracing tour of the intractable divisions that plague our country today, THE WIVES offers a rare and powerful gift: a hopeful stitch in the fabric of a torn America.

My book group is celebrating six years this month, and we are really proud to hit this number. Except for me, my book club is made up of women in their 40s. When we started, many of their children were in nursery school or just starting school. I love hearing stories about their children, as well as their thoughts about books. We typically talk about what we are reading outside the group as well. Many of them, myself included, have said that it is their favorite night of the month.
