Anchored in love

Anchored in Love is a peaceful, heartwarming story about family, friendship, and enduring love.

The Thompsons' life on Naval Station Newport is full of rhythm and routine, yet brimming with the little joys of military life: Sunday picnics on the base lawn, sailboat rides, weekend barbecues with neighbors, and annual community festivals. Ellie, balancing her time between volunteering on base and caring for Lila and Max, finds joy in the small moments and in nurturing the bonds within her community. James, her husband and childhood sweetheart, continues to support her in every way, from attending school events to surprising her with quiet gestures of love.

Through the book, readers get a glimpse of the deep connections between the families on base-the shared laughter, community dinners, and late-night heart-to-hearts. Ellie and James navigate the challenges of military life together, including temporary separations during training exercises, all while teaching their children the importance of loyalty, kindness, and love.
The story emphasizes:
The beauty of long-lasting love and friendship
The power of community and support among military families
Joy found in everyday life rather than dramatic events
