"Клэр и ее история" - одна из четырех историй, которые вошли в книгу "The Military Wives: Wherever You Are". Клэр Балневс никогда не думала, что станет женой военнослужащего. Но когда она познакомилась с молодым медицинским ассистентом Дэйвом Балневсом в военном госпитале, все изменилось. Вскоре они поженились и переехали в военную квартиру, и Клэр начала привыкать к уникальной жизни жены военнослужащего. Переезжая из дома в дом, из страны в страну, часто оставляясь одна - во многом Клэр жила как мать-одиночка. Когда личные проблемы в семье и со здоровьем близких стали серьезной трудностью, у Клэр не было к кому обратиться за помощью.
Но все изменилось с того момента, когда она присоединилась к хору жен военнослужащих. Жены с похожими историями собрались вместе, чтобы петь, и там они нашли утешение и силу. Они нашли друг друга. Всего через несколько месяцев хор Military Wives встретился с Гаретом Мэлоуном, выступил перед королевой, записал бестселлер альбом и достиг Рождественской песни номер 1.
Это история одной женщины о горе и надежде, о том, как хор изменил ее жизнь. Продажи этой книги пойдут на пользу фонду Military Wives Choirs Foundation, сети хоров, которая охватывает военное сообщество, предоставляя поддержку, руководство и финансирование для отдельных хоров, но прежде всего объединяя женщин через пение. Фонд является зарегистрированным дочерним благотворительным фондом SSAFA Forces Help.
This is Claire's story, taken from the book Wherever You Are: The Collective Journey of The Military Wives, by Claire's author, The Wives' Military. Claire Balneaves had never imagined she would become a military spouse. When she met naval hospital medical assistant Dave Balneaves however, everything changed, and Claire and her soon-to-be husband moved in together. From house to house and country to country they travelled, usually alone, as their unique lives as military spouses played out. When personal and familial struggles cast shadows on her mental health, she had no-one to turn to, until she joined the fledgling choir of other military spouses as they reassured each other and found the comfort and strength they needed. And with that choir, which would grow to become an international collective, felt like a family to Claire. Just months after joining, the group would be invited to perform for the queen, famously record an album, and become a number one Christmas hit. This is the incredible tale of heartbreaks and triumphs, and the way one humble choir can change lives - and perhaps even save them. All profits from where ever you are will go on to support the Women's Military Choirs Fund, who continue to spread their message of solidarity and hope across military communities around the globe. Their work benefits women individually and as part of a network, bringing them closer together by using music and words. The organisation is registered as a charity by SSAFA.

Описание книги от The Wives Military
This is Claire’s story, one of four individual journeys taken from Wherever You Are by The Military Wives.Claire Balneaves never thought she’d end up as a military wife. But when she met a young medical assistant, Dave Balneaves, at a naval hospital, everything changed. Before long Claire and Dave had tied the knot and moved into married quarters – and Claire began to settle into the unique life of a military wife. Moving from house to house, from country to country, often solitary – in many ways Claire lived as a single mother. When family and medical difficulties cast a cloud over her personal life, Claire had no one to turn to.But from the moment she joined a nascent choir of military wives, that changed: wives with similar stories came together to sing, and there they found solace and strength. They found each other.Mere months later, the Military Wives choir would have met Gareth Malone, performed for the Queen, recorded a bestselling album and achieved a Christmas number 1.This is one woman’s true story of heartbreak and hope, and of how the choir changed the course of her life.Sales of this book will benefit the Military Wives Choirs Foundation, a network of choirs that reaches across the military community to provide support, guidance and funding for individual choirs, but first and foremost to bring women closer together through singing. The Foundation is a registered subsidiary charity of SSAFA Forces Help.
