DEVON, Pa., Aug. 27, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Behind every man's success is a woman; hence, behind every military man's achievements is his wife. Readers will be in for a dazzling, amusing, and truly entertaining experience as Army wife Karin Jarrett shares her life's dynamic episodes in The Five Star Life of an Army Wife, released through Xlibris.

Opening with a bouncy poem packed with rhyme, The Five Star Life of an Army Wife captures a twenty-eight-year tour of active duty without the actual need for moving vans, passports, and change-of-address forms. It details Karin Jarrett's adventurous experiences as an Army officer's wife -- transferring, making a house into a home, meeting new people, learning new places and things and joining social gatherings -- as the family moves with each new assignment.

This delightful and illuminating memoir will have older military spouses recalling similar experiences and newer military spouses looking forward to them. Non-military readers will enjoy an amusing travelogue from post to post in the United States, and going twice around the world with an inclusion of duty tours in Germany, Israel, Iran and Egypt's Sinai Desert.
