Meet Suzanne Dana, author of The General’s Wife — a compelling debut that explores the unseen sacrifices and silent struggles behind military life.

As both a general’s daughter and a general’s wife, Suzanne has lived the unique rhythms of service and sacrifice firsthand. A graduate of San Diego State University with a degree in journalism and a credential in English education, she has spent her life supporting her husband through eight deployments, nineteen moves, and countless moments of resilience.

In The General’s Wife, Suzanne draws from that experience to craft a story that is equal parts suspenseful and deeply human. The novel follows Margaret Stone, a respected military spouse whose carefully composed life begins to unravel when a blackmail letter forces her to confront a buried secret from her past. As threats escalate and her husband faces deployment to Afghanistan, Margaret must navigate love, loyalty, and redemption within the tight-knit and often demanding world of the military community.

Through evocative prose and emotional depth, The General’s Wife captures the courage it takes to face painful truths — and the power of finding strength when the past refuses to stay buried.
