The vulnerable true story of a journey that changed a military spouse's perspective of deployment, herself, and her military marriage.

"Corie shares insights we can bring into our own hearts to see our own relationships with new eyes."-Amy Bushatz, Executive Editor, Military.com

"Your heart will break and heal with every turn of the page."-Taya Kyle, New York Times bestselling author of American Wife and executive director of the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation

Like many military couples, Corie and her husband, Matt, an Army chaplain, accumulated significant unshared moments during Matt's deployments. After multiple deployments, these "sacred spaces" were taking up a lot of emotional room in their relationship.

When US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter invited Corie, as the 2015 Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year, to join his team on a one-week overseas holiday trip, she eagerly accepted, hoping to gain a better understanding of her husband's deployment experience and lessen the impact sacred spaces had on her marriage.

As Corie sat in the belly of a C-17, where her husband had said goodbye to the remains of friends and fellow soldiers, as she touched with her own hands the memorial at FOB Fenty and reflected on her grief as a care team member following the battle of COP Keating, Corie realized this journey was about much more than the push-pull of duty away from loved ones.

This was a journey to the heart of her marriage, where she would have to leave behind her resentment in exchange for ground she and her husband had surrendered to hurt, misunderstanding, loss-and Afghanistan.
