Description



Book Synopsis



After camouflaging her identity to conform to the expected role of the supportive military spouse, Heather Sweeney emerged from the shadows of her husband's Navy career to rediscover herself as a single mother approaching middle age.

Camouflage: How I Emerged from the Shadows of a Military Marriage is about a woman's journey from being overshadowed by her husband's military career to rediscovering her identity as a single mother entering a new stage in life. The memoir explores how, like many military spouses, she camouflaged her identity, conforming to the expected role of the supportive wife who was secondary to her husband's career as a Navy officer. But after she ended her thirteen-year marriage in her late thirties, she set out on a quest to figure out who she was as a woman without her husband, discovering that the hardships of military life--the forced independence, frequent loneliness, required adaptability, and fierce resilience--had trained her for life after divorce.
