★ About the Author

Sharon Leigh

Sharon Leigh writes for the families standing just outside the frame of every military story — the ones packing care packages, tracking flights, and marking days on a calendar. Every journal she writes started as a page she wished she’d had.

Published under Mischief & Ink, her keepsake journals are built branch by branch, so a Marine Corps mom, an Army spouse, and an Air Force parent each get a book that actually speaks to their journey — not a generic version of it.

“The Marine Corps doesn’t just change your Marine. It changes your whole family.”

Every branch, every family, every journey deserves a keepsake.

What Families Are Saying

Sample reviews shown for layout — swap in real reader quotes before launch.

“I started this the week my son left for boot camp. It gave me somewhere to put all the worry that didn’t have anywhere else to go.”

— R. Thompson, Marine Corps mom

“This We'll Defend understood things about being an Army spouse that I hadn’t said out loud to anyone yet.”

— J. Alvarez, Army spouse

“We're keeping Wild Blue Yonder for our daughter to read when she has kids of her own one day. It's that kind of book.”

— K. Meyers, Air Force parent
