Description

With hundreds of thousands of current and former military brats in the United States, their lives as children of service members are surprisingly little documented.

Reading about the experiences of fellow brats can help these children of warriors understand both themselves and the unique world in which they were raised.

Learning of the challenges that these children face will also help the general population consider how to honor and to help those whose lives were shaped by the military without volunteering or being drafted. This book explores the military brat experience as reflected in novels intended for adults, adolescent fiction, autobiographies and biographies, and highlights the common elements: frequent moves, the ever-present sense of danger, the potential loss of the service member, and isolation from the larger civilian world.

By understanding the lives of brats, we can better understand the very real costs--beyond the lives of service members themselves--that families bear in the name of our collective freedom and security.
