About this book

Always Coming Back Home is a memoir by Ashley Bugge about a military family navigating love, loss, and difficult periods. The narrative incorporates heartfelt stories and real-time emails from a deployed sailor to his wife, drawing readers into the couple's experiences. The couple shares accounts of sailing and scuba diving adventures around the world, along with moments of humor as they become first-time parents. The memoir also documents the anxiety of military deployments, the grief of miscarriages and family loss, and a devastating conclusion marked by a single phone call. Bugge presents a candid and raw account of two ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things together.
