Navy Wife is a tribute to the late Frankie Sue Abrams Ferrell, devoted military wife and mother. The book, written by her husband, retired Navy Commander Dewitt T. Ferrell, Jr. (Jack) tells the story of her early life growing up in Oklahoma and the tragedies she endured as a child and teenager. Jack was a Navy pilot when she met and fell in love with Frankie Sue, and before they knew it, the pair were married and navigated Navy life as partners. This partnership was particularly hard on the young wife due to her husband being away at sea for months at a time, and when he was back on land, they didn't live in one place for very long. Nonetheless, the young wife soon became accustomed to the ups and downs of Navy life. The struggle became even more real after the couple started a family, and learning to juggle the children and Jac's schedule proved hard but fulfilling. This book is a touching legacy that explores the many issues that face Navy spouses and how this one wife in particular rose to the challenge with dignity and grace.
