The final volume in Jehanne Dubrow’s groundbreaking trilogy about being a modern military spouse, "Civilians" examines a significant moment of transformation in a military marriage: the shift from active-duty service to civilian life. After twenty years in the U.S. Navy, Dubrow’s husband came to the end of his tenure as an officer. "Civilians" addresses what it means when someone who has been trained for war returns from the confining, restrictive space of a naval vessel.
