Victoria Ventura is a poet at heart trying to join the two major threads of her life, her everyday civilian life and that as the wife and mother of three members of the professional military. While she is the widow of a now deceased Vietnam veteran, both her daughter and her son also served as professional military aviators. She worries that the all-volunteer military service has driven traditional family elements apart and both civilian and military families suffer accordingly. One is reminded of Sybil Stockdale, recently deceased widow of Admiral James B Stockdale, who became a model for military spouses across the armed services, demonstrating that military families often bear as much of a burden as our professional warriors. Read Victoria's poetry, it will take you back to Vietnam and introduce Iraq, Afghanistan and other conflicts from the Middle East.”

Two Stars Reflections of a Military Wife and Mother Victoria Ventura 9781530912162 Books Reviews
Great read! Meet the author on a trip to TX to see my kids. She was a delight. My husband is a retired Army & her reflections are so true. Judy Jones
This book of poems is very heart wrenching and strikes a nerve in me I'm a military mom so I can relate. The author has a gift and sharing it will touch many lives.
Victoria's poetry reveals the full range of emotions of a wife and mother who has nurtured a family of military pilots. Sometimes we take for granted the sacrifices that are made by those willing and able to defend our country and the anxiety and fear of those left at home. Victoria's poems bring us to those experiences and help us to feel the raw reality of the situations.
Reading her collection of poems may give you a truer understanding of the courage and fortitude of the military and their families.
TWO STARS deserves five stars for telling the whole truth about the living hell that war repeatedly forces upon military families in return for their patriotic sacrifices. In 48 vivid poems, Victoria Ventura shines a mighty light into the dark corners of the military experience, from the battle front to the home front. She exposes the carnage of war, in all its gruesome daily dimensions.
This military widow and mother of two pilots knows her subjects well. In her extremely readable poems, you will come to know them too, from the Wounded Warriors ashamed of PTSD, to the female pilots who are routinely sexually harassed, to the military family members who fear the dreaded knock on the door, to the war heroes who relive again and again the horrors of war instead of their acts of heroism. Read this book and you will never take our military soldiers, nor their families, for granted. - Susan Moorhead
