An excerpt from the review:
"Homefront is a skillfully-constructed narrative about the psychological strife-bordering on, but not quite becoming, devastation-suffered by those with loved ones fighting overseas. In this respect, it neither overstates nor undervalues this aspect of war's effects. Due largely to the tone and technique of the text, the travails of its protagonist are seen as individual rather than simplistically universal or over-generalized. For the most part it stays away from un-self-conscious cliché and avoids the temptation to cast the war at home as somehow more harrowing, more moving, or more intense than the war abroad."
The rest is here.
Editor Pat Lawrence supplied the review for his publication, which includes more reviews, poetry, art, and fiction - definitely worth keeping up with the journal. In his own words, the Fifteen Project is "a digital magazine dedicated to literature and art. since july, 2004, 15p has tried to expose emerging voices, catch particles of discourse from established artists, put together an enjoyable, thought-provoking experience dedicated to quality work of any genre."

With the (well deserved) great reviews Homefront is getting, is there any chance a publisher might pick this up to get into stores?
Also, congrats on the review. I can't say enough how much this book moved me.
Congratulations on the great review! In other news, I just ordered a copy from Amazon ...
CHEIF: No luck yet. But, several small-press rejections! (i don't know if it's the title, but i just can't get people to READ it.)
JAMES: Thank you! I hope you enjoy it.
