Where Humor Meets Hardness and Enduring Love

“Something Is Better Than Nothing" is a captivating and profoundly moving read. The author masterfully interweaves two powerful narratives: her own journey of resilience, forged in a childhood that demanded early autonomy, and the story of loving a Millennial veteran navigating the aftermath of war. With humor, humility, and delicate care, she offers a crucial perspective on service, survival, and the enduring impact of trauma (both PTSD and CPTSD survival). This is more than a memoir; it's a testament to the human spirit that every civilian should read to understand the silent battles many face. I couldn't put it down.
