Wound Beneath the Uniform is a powerful and deeply personal memoir that reveals the devastating reality of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and the lifelong impact it can leave on those who serve. Drawn into military service by hope, duty, and the promise of a better future for her child, S. Denice Newton began her journey believing in the honor and opportunity the uniform represented. But what began as a story of determination and sacrifice soon became a painful confrontation with betrayal from within the very institution meant to protect its own. Through unflinching honesty, Newton recounts the moment her life changed forever and the silent aftermath that followed. The memoir does not dwell solely on the assault itself, but instead explores the complex and often unseen consequences of trauma—hypervigilance, isolation, spiritual questioning, and the long struggle to reclaim identity and peace.
