A young widow embraces a second chance at life when she
reconnects with those who understand the sacrifices made by
American soldiers and their families in award-winning author
Laura Trentham's The Military Wife.
Harper Lee Wilcox has been marking time in her hometown of
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina since her husband, Noah
Wilcox's death, nearly five years earlier. With her son Ben
turning five and living at home with her mother, Harper
fights a growing restlessness, worried that moving on means
leaving the memory of her husband behind.
Her best friend, Allison Teague, is dealing with struggles
of her own. Her husband, a former SEAL that served with
Noah, was injured while deployed and has come home
physically healed but fighting PTSD. With three children
underfoot and unable to help her husband, Allison is at her
wit's end.
In an effort to reenergize her own life, Harper sees an
opportunity to help not only Allison but a network of other
military wives eager to support her idea of starting a
string of coffee houses close to military bases around the
country.
In her pursuit of her dream, Harper crosses paths with
Bennett Caldwell, Noah's best friend and SEAL brother. A man
who has a promise to keep, entangling their lives in ways
neither of them can foresee. As her business grows so does
an unexpected relationship with Bennett. Can Harper let go
of her grief and build a future with Bennett even as the man
they both loved haunts their pasts?
Laura Trentham is very good at difficult emotions. Thanks for the review and looking forward to reading this. (Kathleen Bylsma 4:06pm February 22, 2019)
