           Wife of 5347

Wife of 5347 is a heartfelt and compelling memoir that takes readers behind the scenes of life as an army wife.

At just 20 years old, Angela moved to Germany after marrying her soldier husband, Paul, embarking on a journey that would forever change her life. From the unique challenges of marching in and out of army quarters with their mismatched walls and carpets, to navigating the intensity of war and the ever-present threat of being bombed, Angela’s story is one of resilience and adaptability.

Through moments of fear, strength, and unwavering love, she shares the reality of making her husband’s life her own checking for bombs, identifying threats, and holding the family together while Paul served his country. Alongside these challenges, Angela balanced the joys of raising their young daughter, Katyia, and later welcoming Natalia, who was born in Germany.

This memoir is an honest and intimate glimpse into the extraordinary and often untold experiences of the women supporting the soldiers, offering readers a tribute to courage, love, and the unbreakable bond of family.
