Melissa Seligman is something rare in the world of military families - a military wife who is also a beautiful writer. Here she describes her feelings as she watches her husband walk away from her and her newborn, knowing full well that he might not return from the war in Iraq. She experiences saying goodbye twice - both times he left when their children were still infants. While he’s away from home again, Melissa struggles to remember the goodness of her husband and the joy of their life together. Working hard to raise a baby and a four-year old, Melissa tells of the heartbreak and desperation she experiences at home. She watches her daughter clutch a G.I. Joe doll she’s named "Little Daddy", and wonders if the family will make it through.
Hers is a story of sadness and strength, desperation and hope, displacement and unity. It’s a story that anyone left behind (and we have all been left behind) will respond to, one that, unfortunately, is becoming more and more common as the war in Iraq continues. This is a work of timely and powerful nonfiction by a significant new author.

In The Day After He Left for Iraq, Melissa Seligman documents a painful moment in the life of military families: when a husband leaves his wife and children to go to war. Suzie Venable's tear-jerking, emotional performance beautifully describes the soul-crushing day Seligman's husband was deployed, and the struggles this brave wife endured to raise her new baby and four-year-old alone, accompanied only by the fear her husband may never return. A tale of strength through adversity, The Day After He Left for Iraq serves as an inspiration for every American who loves their country, and their family, too.
