sixth and final book. "I really can't think of anything else I want
to write about." Previous works have included a biography, a

England during the London Blitz. In "Military Wives and Widows Tell Their
Stories," Berman compiles 26 accounts that tell about service life from
perspectives of the wives and widows. "They recall falling in love with a
man in uniform," she says. "Some widows are in their 80s, one is 95
and some are as young as about 40." She has included her own story in the
book. "Including WWII to the present day, the United States has been
involved in 19 wars or conflicts that resulted in the deaths of service
members. Except for NOAA all branches of the uniformed services are
represented. Some of the women were also in the military." All
