Move--And Other Four-Letter Words, the Memoir of a Mobile Marriage, is the story of her finding her way as a military spouse, despite deployments, virtual single parenthood, and 21 moves.

Brown is also the co-author, with artist Margaret Hall Hoybach, of the illustrated book, Colors of France: A Painting Pilgrimage.
