Calmed. is an intense, intimate look into the beginning of Jennifer Hobbs and her husband's relationship through basic training, into a combat zone, and living with the aftermath of it all, including PTSD. Jen takes you through her life as she signs on to be in the National Guard while still in High School, then through basic training and into Iraq and back home. She offers a glimpse into her personal life, sharing stories of what has made her into the woman she is today. With alternate views from her husband, this memoir is well rounded and easy to read, making it hard to put down.
This was a fantastic book about the heartbreaking, but also heartwarming, lives of two people who met and fell in love, but then life kept getting in the way. It shows that two people who strongly love one another can endure years of separation, PTSD, and many other dips and lows that life can offer. Even through her darkest stories, Jen writes about hope and Faith and pushing through the difficult times to get to where she needed to be, and to reach who she wanted to be.
I look forward to reading more from Jennifer Hobbs in the future
