Public Affairs, 2015
An invaluable handbook. . . .For nonmilitary families, her work is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve and by their loved ones. For military families, Brye’s book will comfort and inform.
Publishers Weekly
A compassionate, insightful guide for military parents and the rest of us who are in their debt.
Kirkus Reviews
A simply written, very honest book about how parenting a child at war feels…. Poignant sometimes to point of inducing tears, Be Safe, Love Mom is not easy reading. It may not even be possible to read at one setting, but it is one of those books that ought to required reading for every citizen.
New York Journal of Books
Elaine Brye’s book belongs in every military home. . . .Every mother of a military child who reads this will nod her head knowingly, grateful that someone was able to understand what she faces and share it on her behalf.
