From the author of The Campaign and No Rules of Engagement...
Pamela Wright will never forgive her sister for dying in the Afghanistan war or the army for Laura's death or anyone else for making it okay for Laura to go halfway around the world to fight for reasons Pam has never fathomed. Numb with grief, she buries her sister but not her rage. Among the mourners is Trish Tomlinson, who loved Laura long ago and has found the news of Laura's death sharply painful. She remembers Pam as an unwelcome third wheel but now finds comfort in the company of the young medical resident and in the details of Laura's journal that Pam shares.
Brought together by grief, something more grows. Guilt and anger cloud their feelings and jeopardize any chance at a future. How can love blossom in the shadow of death?

In this case Dr. Laura Wright is killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Her younger sister Dr. Pam Wright returns to their hometown of Ann Arbor, Mi. for the memorial service and there she's reunited with her sister's first love Trish Tomlinson and away we go again.
Pamela's crush which has basically been kept alive by her childhood memories for twenty years is resuscitated but so is Trish's attitude towards Pam as her girlfriend's little sister, will Trish's attitude ever change and if so will it work out for them?
By consensus this one ended up getting a 5 star rating from the cadre; though if possible I would have rated it at 4.2 to 4.4. There were a few jarring turns and inconsistencies in the narrative that left me scratching my head. The story itself was quite stirring emotionally and the Afghanistan scenes feel real. The manner in which the protagonists came together felt forced and unrealistic however the conclusion was excellent.
Still I can only wish that those plot twists that elongated the story needlessly had been avoided and the narrative would have been allowed to proceed without all the excess drama.

Pamela Wright (31): Laura’s younger sister and the only family she had after their father died learning to fly a small plane during their childhood and their mother died of cancer six years ago. As a trauma physician in a Chicago ER she’s used to death, but not being on this side of it.
Trish Tomlinson (38): High school english teacher at their alma mater and Laura’s ex high school sweetheart back in the 90s. Who young Pam has always had a crush on.
Both women, left to mourn alone, find each other after years with their shared memories of Laura and what they discovery about not only her but themselves. They learn to grieve, heal, and grow a friendship that blossoms into more. (With a couple of well done spicy scenes)
Beautiful writing and wonderful narration <3
(Interesting how their last name is Wright like the aviation pioneers, the wright brothers, but this family has no luck with planes/helicopters)
What a sweet sweet story with an appropriate amount of action, angst, and love <3

Other than that, I give the book 5 stars. Coming from someone who served in the Virginia State Guard/Defense Force, I thoroughly enjoyed the military plot, albeit sad due to MJR Wright being KIA. I am a sucker for this type of happy, sappy ending, though! HOOAH!
P.S.
Nice surname used for Trish. She & I have that in common. XD
