Synopsis
When Anne Bradley receives her invitation to a Welcome Tea hosted by the Air Force Base Officer’s Wives Club, she is a bit surprised—and hesitant. As are Rachel, Beth, and Karen, three other women who attend.
When the tea is poured, these four strangers face one another and begin the journey of friendship and self–discovery. Each woman’s life is revealed in engaging storylines about the struggles and joys of marriage, parenthood, and personal faith.
In this compelling story of love, forgiveness, and truth each woman discovers that with good friends and a lot of faith she can believe that beyond yesterday’s heartache and today’s troubles there is an expanse of hope beyond the horizon.

From Publishers Weekly
Mitchell, a military spouse, looks at the lives of military wives through the eyes of four diverse women. Anne Bradley is a newlywed whose interracial marriage and status as military spouse is a hindrance to acceptance and finding a job near Bullard's Air Force base in the South. Anne befriends an unlikely trio of military wives: hedonistic and wealthy Rachel Hawthorne; anorexic Karen Bannister, who is questioning her LDS faith; and frustrated Air Force Capt. Beth Bennett, who has resigned her commission to stay at home with her rambunctious twins. Mitchell is at her strongest portraying the frustrations of women coming to grips with careers and motherhood (or infertility or pregnancy) and the challenges of military life. She is adept with flashbacks and withholds certain key bits of information until the right moment, which adds punch to the narrative. Although Mitchell has a pleasant voice, she makes Christian fiction's most frustrating mistake of incorporating too much didactic theological discussion with evangelism in mind. She also tends to overdetail some mechanics of military life in places where less might have been more. Readers will find this novel is more about the relationships of married couples than those of women friends. (Jan.)
