This week, since I have so many tour stops, I am not doing the usually daily book spotlights, though I do want to get a couple in yet this week. Today's spotlight is on the wonderful book: Mrs. Lieutenant: A Sharon Gold Novel by author Phyllis Zimbler Miller. I have not had the pleasure of reading this one yet, but hope to do so in the very near future. It sounds absolutely engrossing and quite excellent, so be sure to check it out. Also, if you have read it, I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

About the book:
They had their whole lives to look forward to if only their husbands could survive Vietnam. In the spring of 1970 - right after the Kent State National Guard shootings and President Nixon's two-month incursion into Cambodia - four newly married young women come together at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, when their husbands go on active duty as officers in the U.S. Army. Different as these four women are, they have one thing in common: Their overwhelming fear that, right after these nine weeks of training, their husbands could be shipped out to Vietnam - and they could become war widows. Sharon is a Northern Jewish anti-war protester who fell in love with an ROTC cadet; Kim is a Southern Baptist whose husband is intensely jealous; Donna is a Puerto Rican who grew up in an enlisted man's family; and Wendy is a Southern black whose parents have sheltered her from the brutal reality of racism in America. Read MRS. LIEUTENANT to discover what happens as these women overcome their prejudices, reveal their darkest secrets, and are initiated into their new lives as army officers' wives during the turbulent Vietnam War period.

Phyllis is such a lovely woman and busts her butt in anything she does. She deserves all the good things in life!
April -- Thanks so much for this lovely spotlight for MRS. LIEUTENANT.
And Dorothy -- I really appreciate your kind words. (Emailed an author today about your terrific virtual book tours at www.PumpUpYourBookPromotion.com.)
This is a book I've been meaning to read too, but my TBR pile never seems to go down any.
Phyllis has done such a great job of promoting herself and her book. And the best part is she kept that momentum from her virtual book tour and just keeps going and going. I think she must be related to the Energizer bunny.
Best of luck Phyllis. You deserve it!

The book does sound intriguing and in fact I added it to my TBR list after I interviewed Phyllis.

Phyllis, thank you so much for allowing me to spotlight Mrs. Lieutenant! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy and read it - it sounds amazing and you have worked so hard to get it out there for others to see, read and enjoy!
I loved this book! Phyllis was the first author I interviewed on my site, and I had a great time getting to know her a little bit. I hope you get a chance to read the book soon.
