Laura Trentham
In
award-winning author Laura Trentham’s emotional, heartbreaking and heart mending new novel
THE MILITARY WIFE (St. Martin’s Griffin, February 5th 2019, $16.99),
a young widow embraces a second chance at life by helping those who
understand the sacrifices made by American soldiers and their families.
Written with Brandon Webb, a former Navy Seal, Trentham provides an
authentic look into post-military life.
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 ago, while serving as a
Navy SEAL. 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 who served with Noah, was injured while deployed
and has come home physically
healed but fighting PTSD. With three children under foot 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, who are
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. As her business grows, so does an
unexpected relationship with
Bennett. A man who has a promise to keep, entangling their lives in
ways neither of them can foresee. Can Harper let go of her grief and
build a future with Bennett even as the man they both loved haunts their
pasts?
