Ranger's Wife Debuts Novel THE IMMORTALS

Tori Eversmann, wife of the Army Ranger who inspired the lead character in "Black Hawk Down," shares the captivating and heart-warming story of a wife who unexpectedly becomes a military spouse in her debut novel, "The Immortals."

Eversmann's semi-autobiographical character, Calli Coleman, abruptly lands in the role of Army wife in provincial Sackets Harbor, New York, when her husband is recalled to active military duty during the Iraq War. Calli and her young family face the adversity of transitioning to their new military life and the complicated social hierarchy that goes with it. Uprooted from their hometown, family and friends, their new life as an Army family becomes even more unsettling when Calli learns that her husband will soon be deployed to Iraq.

"New friendships sustain Calli through loneliness and the ever-present specter of widowhood. 'The Immortals' is an examination of marriage, friendship, war and death," said Eversmann.

The novel explores the unlikely friendships that evolve between women from different backgrounds who are thrown together and bond with one another for courage and support. Together they embark upon emotional journeys to visit severely wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

"I want to make a difference in people's lives whether it's through "The Immortals," a speaking engagement, a meal I've prepared, quality time with a mug of tea or glass of wine, or as a thought leader on military wives," Eversmann said.

Eversmann is available for interviews and appearances. To schedule speaking engagements, media appearances, interviews or book signings, contact her at tori(at)torieversmann(dot)com or 315-405-1393.
