An ad hoc search party of damaged family and friends assembles to look for her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe anxious pursuit to find the missing soldier, before she comes to harm, plays out against a backdrop of global financial near-collapse and raging wild fires, and becomes, for the walking wounded, a quest for meaning and a way to live during wartime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvance praise for \u003cem\u003eLife During Wartime\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatie Rogin's riveting debut, \u003cem\u003eLife During Wartime\u003c\/em\u003e, is a smoking, sun-drenched portrait of a nation at war with itself. Set during the 2008 financial crisis, Rogin's story of the desperate search for a missing combat veteran explodes into a searing social commentary that resembles, in scope and ambition, Robert Stone's Vietnam-era work. It's a powerful, wrenching, thoroughly necessary book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-- Whitney Terrell, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Good Lieutenant\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLife During Wartime\u003c\/em\u003e is a novel of enormous breadth and humanity.

It's also a very compelling examination of how trauma--for better or worse--becomes the lens through which we view post-trauma.
