"Get down, Jim. He has a gun." Alone and under siege in their quarters, the author could only watch the television screen, which showed her husband being assaulted by a mob of angry Chinese students at the Taipei airport.

This is just one of the many gut-wrenching experiences that, along with the ridiculous sight of forty-seven live lobsters crawling around their garage floor, make this book one that will take you from laughter to tears as the life of a Navy wife unfolds.

Besides being wife, raiser of children, maintainer of home, cars, lawns and appliances of all sizes, she must be able to move on a day's notice. And, as an entertainer, a friend, a communicator and world traveler, she must be able to do it alone. Without a sense of humor, she is, in Navy terms, dead in the water.
