In this collection of literary profiles, Emma Comery weaves together interviews and research to explore what it means to be the partner of someone in the military. These depictions offer an intimate narrative of the marriages, family dynamics, and interior lives of military partners: the young wife of an intelligence officer who finds herself in the middle of Nevada, a Marine Corps spouse caught in the crossfire of a foreign riot, a therapist who recognizes the signs of mental illness in her own husband, and a new mother who doesn't know she's kissing her husband goodbye for the last time. Have You Landed? offers nuanced portraits of life across the U.S. military – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and National Guard – and includes the experiences of wives, husbands, partners, widows, and exes. It describes life as a modern military partner and the commitment to a lifestyle that often challenges our notions of love, family, strength, and self.
