AUSTIN, June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Life as a military wife comes with many hardships. In Theda Yager’s new book, “This Last Mission: A Love Story Written by a Retired Air Force Pilot’s Wife,” readers will experience a real depiction of a fictional military family’s point of view that illustrates the life of a military wife and the tasks she had to uphold when her husband was deployed. Throughout the novel, Yager beautifully tells a real and raw narrative of what may happen in an Airman’s home while he is away fighting for his country.
“This Last Mission” introduces Consuelo, a strong, seasoned military wife and mother who shares her experience and adversities that she and her family faced when her husband, Jeff, was in active duty in the Air Force. From handling childcare to the maintenance of the family vehicle, Yager stresses the big balancing act that Consuelo maintains while her husband is away. Not only does the book show the reality of what one family may face, but the author illustrates a beautiful love story between Consuelo and Jeff. Regardless of where Jeff may be, Consuelo’s love never faded, and she was always there for him and their family no matter how much she missed him or was struggling.
“My husband was in the Air Force for twenty-six years,” said Yager. “The average person has no understanding of the military person’s life than they do about the life of the family when the spouse is deployed. Though ‘This Last Mission’ is fictional, many of the scenes in the book are real. I hope my book will educate readers on what may happen in a military person’s home while they are away on deployment. Consuelo’s story will shine a light in such a way that is educational, entertaining and at times humorous, though there are perilous moments.”
“This Last Mission” takes a different perspective and will show readers many obstacles that can occur in a military family.
