Rae came from a conservative, religious family and lived that life until her husband Frank was sent to Afghanistan for nine months. Looking for something to pass that time, she signed up for a yoga class offered through the base recreation center. Meeting another military wife who was also looking for a yoga class, Rae began her walk into a whole new lifestyle and the realization that marriage, children, and adult responsibilities didn't equal death or being old.

Two years ago, Rae had a chance to bring joy and adventure into her life. After her husband’s death in Afghanistan, her friend, Andrea became a light for her, until fear took over and Rae ended any hopes of a relationship with Andrea

Two years ago, Rae had a chance to bring joy and adventure into her life. After her husband’s death in Afghanistan, her friend, Andrea became a light for her, until fear took over and Rae ended any hopes of a relationship with Andrea. With her son, Mark getting ready to graduate from high school, she is awakening to the realization that she might have made a mistake by letting Andrea go. Rae tried to stay busy helping other military spouses who had lost their loved ones in the war, but it only went so far.
