The Immortals is the story of Calli Coleman, a classically trained musician from a well-connected Baltimore family, who has no idea what's in store for her when her soldier-husband, Luke, is recalled to an infantry unit during the Iraq War. Uprooting her young family from the hometown she adores and depositing them in provincial Sackets Harbor, New York, Calli is suddenly thrust into the role of Army wife and tumbles into a complicated social hierarachy where she finds her well-heeled childhood does her more harm than good. Desperately missing her friends and family, Calli is devastated to learn of Luke's impending-and lengthy-deployment to Iraq. Amid the impertinent Army wives, unlikely friendships evolve with Josie, Rachel and Daphne. Seemingly as different from one another as can be, and certainly unalike from her dynamic, jet-setting best friend Eula, these women will nonetheless come together for courage, support, and embark upon the deeply emotional roller coaster ride of being an Army wife. In Luke's absence, Calli, alone with her daughter, learns that if anything is worth fighting for, it's the new friendships that will sustain her through loneliness and the ever-present specter of widowhood. The Immortals is an examination of marriage, friendship, war, and death. --back cover.
