Her background as a linguist in the U.S. Army adds a compelling layer of realism, providing readers a rare glimpse into the discipline, sacrifice, and camaraderie that come with military service.
Carter’s inspiration for Desperate Love Institute came from her desire to share a story that reflects the complex realities of life in the armed forces, especially as it pertains to the bonds forged through shared hardship. “I wrote this book to share a story both familiar and relatable to many of the service members who have undergone a similar path to myself,” Carter explains. While the novel may particularly resonate with Defense Language Institute alumni, its relatable themes and universal insights into human connection make it a moving read for a wide audience.
