What's a girl to do? Her husband ships out on an aircraft carrier for months on end leaving this naŻve newlywed to deal not only with boredom and loneliness, but with psychotic house cats and uppity appliances as well! When Will My Ship Come In? The Misadventures of a Navy Wife is a hilarious romp through one woman's encounter with the United States Navy and how she lived to tell about it.

November 03, 2004: Linda Krueger's Book made me laugh and gave me a sense of support as I wait for my husband's deployment to end. I felt an instant bond of friendship with Linda, even though we have never met, I have with all my fellow navy wives. Navy or not, this is a delightful book and lets you into a way of life that most never see.

October 17, 2004: Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld, Tim Allen, Erma Bombeck, Dave Barry, and ... Linda Krueger. What do they all have in common? They have written some of the funniest books I?ve ever read! I love humor books, especially the type where the author simply observes other people, and/or relates their own life experiences. Truth is stranger than fiction, but sometimes it's also much funnier! Ms. Krueger shares knee slapping details on the life of a newlywed Navy wife: her crafts, her craziness, her craving for babies, and the adventures of her cats during the long months of her husband?s many deployments. I loved this book for the fun stories, but since I was an Army brat (I never understood that term, because the children of enlisted men and officers are generally well behaved), I remember well the unique and unpredictable nature of having a father in the military. The stories in this book will have enlisted folks nodding (even if they aren?t Navy) and civilians cracking up!
