Vino in Vo
Intertwined with the love of a soldier and the beauty of true friendship, Vino in Vo follows three Army wives surviving their husbands' tour of Iraq through an unexpected friendship. Stationed in Italy, they uncover a quaint vineyard where they discover what is missing in their lives.
*Feasting on life's possibilities, Perry leaves her small Oklahoma town and boards a plane to Italy, but soon after she arrives, war begins and her husband is deployed. For the first time in her life, she finds herself alone in her empty apartment with the Bible in her right hand and Daddy's Life Manual in the other.
*Jonah is a walking ER bill, but even when her bones aren't broken, her heart is. She believes that her problems stem from the ill-will of others, especially from God, but when an over-eager friendaholic befriends her, she is forced to face her past and view life differently.
*Kristen has never had a 'Lucy and Ethel' friendship because others could not see past her beauty, but when she must give birth inside an Italian hospital, and bare it all to practical strangers, her perfectionist shell begins to crack. It is only with her first sense of friendship that she realizes, Yes, it is all right to use paper plates for dinner.

The Army has stationed Chrisy and her family in Italy, Oklahoma and North Carolina. Oklahoma was her favorite.
She has survived two tour of duties as an Army wife- Iraq, 2003 and Afghanistan, 2007.

This book is about so much more than Army wives and the Iraq War. It's about self-exploration and loving the person you really are. It tackles love and loss on so many levels. Vino in Vo is one book that I'll think about long after I've finished reading it.

I love this book, but don't take my word for it!

Words can't even describe how real it felt at times. Cried so hard.

The story probably would have held my attention better if the grammatical errors/crap editing job hadn't taken over the last 1/4 of the book. Worth a read-through, but not a re-read.
