Heart of a Hero
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?

Heartfelt and
emotional... uplifting and hopeful!
Laura Trentham was born and raised in a small town in Northwest Tennessee.
Although, she loved English and reading in high school, she majored in Chemical
Engineering
(in order to avoid becoming a starving artist!) and worked in a hard hat and
steel toed boots
for several years.
Now living in South Carolina with her husband and two children, she writes
historical and
contemporary romances that are a little dark, a little funny, and a whole lot of
sexy.
