Overview

Catherine's life in Nebraska was defined by safe, predictable rhythm, a world built on quiet routine and solitude. That safe harbor was shattered by a single, terrifying leap of faith: calling her high school sweetheart, Clayton, after years of silence. Suddenly, love meant trading her most cherished possessions-her treasured Star Trek collection, the very totems of her former safe life-to buy a one-way ticket to his world. But Clayton's world wasn't a fairy tale; it was the demanding, isolating reality of life as an Army soldier. What follows is a twenty-year journey though the eye of a storm: constant deployments, moving across the country, whispered goodbyes, and the daily, crushing weight of holding a family together alone. Facing unexpected motherhood after a devastating cancer prognosis, and later, battling her own health recurrence. Catherine must navigate the judgment of outsiders and the silent terror of phone calls that could change everything. Beyond the Gate: A Soldier's Wife is a powerful, unvarnished look at the sacrifice behind the uniform, and the fierce, enduring love it takes to build a home and a future against a backdrop of global conflict and personal crisis.
