๐ About this Book
Home Front follows Jolene Zarkades, a wife, mother of two, and helicopter pilot in the Army National Guard. Her twelve-year marriage to Michael is already falling apart when she receives unexpected orders to deploy to Iraq. Michael, a defense attorney, is suddenly left at home to care for their daughters while Jolene faces the realities of war.ย
While deployed, Jolene hides the harsh truth of life on the front lines from her family. But when tragedy strikes, everything changes. The novel explores what war can do to a marriage, a family, and the person who comes home carrying wounds that are not always visible. It deals deeply with love, loss, duty, trauma, PTSD, marriage, motherhood, and hope.

โค๏ธ Why Sumaia Recommends It
This is one of those Kristin Hannah books that really puts you through it emotionally, because apparently she considers peace of mind optional.
What I loved most is that this is not only a war story. It is also a marriage story, a motherhood story, and a story about what happens when two people become disconnected and then are forced to understand each other in an entirely different way.
Joleneโs strength, the impact of deployment on the whole family, and the way the book handles the emotional aftermath of war make this such a powerful and moving read.
