About this ebook
From the author of Once Upon a Sunset and The Key to Happily Ever After comes a heartwarming and moving novel following three Army wives—estranged friends—who must overcome their differences when one of them is desperate for help.
Regina Castro, Adelaide Wilson-Chang, and Sophie Walden used to be best friends. As Army wives at Fort East, they bonded during their book club and soon became inseparable. But when an unimaginable betrayal happened amongst the group, the friendship abruptly ended, and they haven’t spoken since.
That’s why, eight years later, Regina and Sophie are shocked when they get a call for help from Adelaide. Adelaide’s husband is stationed abroad, and without any friends or family near her new home of Alexandria, Virginia, she has no one to help take care of her young daughter when she has to undergo emergency surgery. For the sake of an innocent child, Regina and Sophie reluctantly put their differences aside to help an old friend.
As the three women reunite, they must overcome past hurts and see if there’s any future for their friendship. Featuring Tif Marcelo’s signature “enchanting prose” (Amy E. Reichert, author of The Coincidence of Coconut Cake) and the books that brought them together in the first place, In a Book Club Far Away honors the immense power of female friendship and how love can defy time, distance, and all old wounds.

I received a free electronic ARC of this novel from Netgalley, Tif Marcelo, and publisher Gallery Books. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read this novel of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work. This book is a great example of life as it is lived by our military families, an outline of what it means to serve - which has to include everyone in the family, the by-yearly cross country or out of country moves, the stress of loving a soldier, the uncertainty of making plans for next week, next year. It is also an interesting and exciting tale, told very well, about women and how they support one another, often against their better judgment. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Regina, Adalaide, and Sophie, visiting them in their world, learning what is important to each of them, and seeing what they are willing to give to help one another. This is how the world is supposed to work.
