Art of Camouflage

A powerful debut about the lives of girls and women caught in the military’s orbit.

Female recruits weathering hyper-masculine environments. Military wives stretched across countless military moves, new cities, new selves. Military kids whose mercurial friendships flare and fade to the rhythm of the posting season. Throughout, this collection introduces us to characters who trespass beyond the boundaries of their own realities to discover who they are within someone else’s narrative.

Sara Power writes with insight and emotional precision about what it’s like to be unmoored. Art of Camouflage is memorable at every turn, full of characters whose deepest motivations we recognize intrinsically as our own.
