A few years ago I picked up a copy of Annette Lyon’s Band of Sisters. I was instantly impressed by Lyon’s strong characterization of five women who become close friends while their husbands serve together in Afghanistan.
In this gripping sequel, Lyon provides a straightforward, honest and raw look at what soldiers and their families deal with upon reentry. Readers will have a difficult time remembering Coming Home is fiction; Lyon has done impeccable research and her story flows easily. Tears frequently pricked my eyes at the depth of emotion I felt while enjoying this tale. Besides serving as a touching tribute to friendship, Coming Home renewed my appreciation for the countless sacrifices made for my freedom.
