Synopsis

'Get down, Jim. He has a gun.' Alone and under siege in their quarters, the author could only watch the television screen, which showed her husband being assaulted by a mob of angry Chinese students at the Taipei airport. This is just one of the many gut-wrenching experiences that, along with the ridiculous sight of forty-seven live lobsters crawling around their garage floor, make this book one that will take you from laughter to tears as the life of a Navy wife unfolds. Besides being wife, raiser of children, maintainer of home, cars, lawns and appliances of all sizes, she must be able to move on a day's notice. And, as an entertainer, a friend, a communicator and world traveler, she must be able to do it alone. Without a sense of humor, she is, in Navy terms, dead in the water. Covering the Korean and Vietnam wars, the reader is given a bird's-eye account of the frustrations and excitement of a Navy pilot, as he catapults off aircraft carrier decks to fly strikes over the heavily defended targets of Korea and Vietnam. This is the story of two careers - his and hers.

Biographie de l'auteur

Patricia Linder, award-winning writer, spent thirty-seven years, honing her talents to match the demands of her husband's naval career. In Row, Row, Row Your Boat, her first memoir, she allows the reader to share with her the roller-coaster ride of a Navy wife, often alone, but always expected to be a 'woman for all seasons.' Currently, she is working on her second memoir written about an explosive tour of duty in Taiwan, Republic of China toward the end of her husband's career. The Linders moved to Tucson, Arizona eight years ago to be nearer their two children, Jamey and Jeffrey.
