My Review
When reading the book: Married to Merlot, I immediately was impressed by
the honest writing of the author. I think it's very difficult to write down what
she had experienced.

I was directly into the memoir and I read it in one time, so I really wanted to
know what came next, the good and the bad.

I don't like flashbacks in a story, but here it was appropriate. The book cover
also was good and to the point.

That's why I want to give a 5* rating to this amazing memoir! I would
recommend this book to all who wants to know more about ptsd and
the effects of alcoholism. I think most people will think twice before they
drink another glass of wine or beer.

The Author
Martha Louise had always been a writer but she did not envision her first
published book as a memoir about her life and the events that occurred while
married to her Vietnam veteran husband. Her career had led her into several
roles over the years: exceptional student education teacher, social worker,
mental health therapist and school psychologists. She had multiple stories
to tell; she had not planned to tell the story of her husband's post-war stress,
depression and alcoholisme. But she knew it was the story she had to tell.
