When a National Guardsman deploys there are truly two people at war: the soldier
who goes to fight the enemy and the spouse who stays behind to face, in many ways,
an equally difficult task. Tim and Tiffany Stoner’s new book is a useful reminder of the debt
we owe to both members of any National Guard Family.

This special story about the Stoner’s journey captured through words and photos that touch
our hearts compels us to be better people – to live in a way that makes a difference to our
families, communities and country. In spite of separation and even fear,
we see a family filled with joy, purpose and faith.

Tim and Tiffany exemplify all that is good about the American family…. patriotic, entrepreneurial,
loving, fun, compassionate. It is my honor to call them friends.

What’s it like for a soldier to leave behind a beautiful family for a long overseas deployment?
What’s it like for a mom to stay home and hold that family together? In this beautifully
photographed book, Tiffany and Tim open their lives for us to share their
unique adventure, and we are better for knowing them!

An intensely personal look at how a husband's service to his country affected his wife, family and friends back home. Tiffany's daily blogs and her website during Tim's 15 months as a MEDEVAC pilot come together in a glorious book featuring poignant photographs taken by her brother, Nathaniel. You will laugh. You will cry. And you will fully understand the meaning of the word commitment.

This touching and eloquent work captures his tour of duty, primarily through the eyes, words,
and travails of his wife and children as they waited for his return. It reminds us that our
soldiers never travel alone - they always go forth with the love and devotion of "those who wait."
Well written - well done!
