When Julie Mason arrives on Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, she is running away from a messy divorce. She sees her new position as a civilian employee for the US Air Force as a new chapter in her life, but she isn't prepared for the challenges that await her on the isolated island. Luckily, Julie isn't alone. As she adjusts to life on base, she leans on the sisterhood that forms between Julie and the other female civilian employees of the Civilian Women's Quarters (CWQ). Each is coping with struggles of her own. Julie's first friend, Laura Simpson, must move forward from a shocking tragedy. Other women in the CWQ, Maggi and Barbara, struggle to keep their love lives from interfering with their professional responsibilities. Former teacher Patricia Moore tries to get over her shyness when she makes an unexpected connection. Nurse Mitzi James plays a dangerous game with a married colonel. These women and others carve out a new life a long way from their former homes. In the CWQ, they are always there to support each other through the heartbreak, disasters, and other tragedies that befall them.
