A hard-hitting memoir, Divorce by Deployment: "My story, My tragedy, My victory" recounts the marital strife between author Percell Artis Jr. and his first wife and how the marriage failed, partly due to his frequent military deployments. Artis met his first wife in 1989, and they married in 1990. For the first few years they enjoyed a happy life, and after four years they had a son. But when Artis went on his first deployment to Kosovo, things started unraveling-fast. Their communication began breaking down, and by the eighth year their marriage was in jeopardy. Artis's wife met another man, moved out of their house, and told Artis she didn't want to be with him. Then she dropped the real bombshell: She was pregnant with her boyfriend's baby. Thinking that matters could not get any worse, Artis then discovered that she had had a one-night-stand with another man who could possibly be the father of the child. Facing this shocking news and being deployed at the same time was one of the toughest times Artis had ever experienced. Divorce by Deployment tells how he overcame his personal obstacles and patiently rebuilt his life.
