The Soul of My Soldier Reflections of a Military Wife

After forty-five years of marriage, celebrated author and poet Abigail B. Calkin explores the relationship she has with her husband, who served three tours of duty in two different wars. Raw, riveting, and engaging, Calkin recounts how war and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) shaped their marriage and family. 

Told in prose and poetry, The Soul of My Soldier is a vivid exploration of the extended and significant impact war has on loved ones, and how war affects deployed military personnel far beyond their tour of duty. 

Abigail B. Calkin, who lives in a remote Alaskan town, has eight published books in various genres: education, fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry, in addition to articles and chapters on behavior analysis. Her current topics in any of these genres include the natural world, commercial fishing, human behavior, and the military.
