Book excerpt: Deception, distance, and disaster test a weary military marriage in this classic novel of love and family by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author. After years of following her navy officer husband on assignment around the world, Grace Bennett realizes that she’s left something behind—herself. Her husband, Steve, can’t understand the unraveling of his wife’s heart and is determined to set things right. Their already-strained relationship is pushed to the edge when old secrets are revealed. Now, with plenty of space to ponder the true distance between them, Grace begins to reinvent herself. But, just as her new self is coming to terms with her family life, the unthinkable happens: a disaster aboard Steve’s ship. A navy wife’s worst nightmare collides with the cold truth that life’s biggest chances can slip away while you’re busy looking for guarantees. Originally published in 2004. “A human and multilayered story exploring duty to both country and family.” —Nora Roberts “Wiggs’s light, engaging style keeps the story moving. . . . Her characters are sympathetic and her tale of frayed loves mended is sure to strike a responsive chord.” —Publishers Weekly
