Laugh, cry, and rejoice as you experience the frontline of military life through the poetic expressions of a Marine's wife. Spending most of her husband's active duty career in the desert of Twenty-Nine Palms, California, author, Margaret Roberts developed a respect for the military and a fascination with the desert flowers surrounding her. She eloquently compares those desert flowers with the sometimes harsh survival of the military wife. Desert Flowers: Poems of Love and Life is a labor of love that will be enjoyed by all, whether in the military or not.
