*Something Beyond the Sky* by Siri L. MitchellThis book was sent to all the SR Protestant Wives in the Air Force, maybe Wing Chaplain’s wives too…..It’s written by an Air Force Spouse.
The book centers on the stories, lives and friendships of four new Air Force spouses. It was fairly realistic. I’ve dealt with or known women that dealt with all the issues in this book. The one character that was unrealistic to me is Rachel – I’ve never known any spouses who had billions of dollars and flew anywhere their heart desired, bought mansions etc…..
This book gives a clear view of some of the issues that face military spouses (moving, loss of personal identity, prejudice…) and it shows some of the highlights of the military lifestyle (diverse friendships…).
This title by Harvest House Publishers (where my brother works LOL) is not in a genre I usually read, but I did enjoy it. It was an easy read. There were moments of fun and moments of reflection while reading the book. I’d like to see a sequel where the main characters continue to grow in their friendships and relationship with God through PCS’s, deployments, new friendships…..and centered more around their involvement in the chapel and PWOC rather than OSC…but that’s ME.

Sounds like an interesting book. Something that maybe even my book club could do. I have put it on reserve at my library.
I should have offered it here. I put it on PBS and got an email immediately saying it was on someone's wish list. Cracked me up that it's going to a block over from where we lived in AK. LOL
I did enjoy it - I just think it needs a sequel that explores some of those OTHER military spouse issues....frankly I think the world needs a military spouse who homeschools and solves mysteries in her spare time.....:::snort::::
