Indivisible by Travis Thrasher


About the Book




Book: Indivisible  
Author: Travis Thrasher  
Genre: General fiction, drama  
Release Date: October 23, 2018  

A novelization of the film Indivisible, this is a story of love and marriage and finding each other all over again. When Darren deploys to Iraq during the surge of 2007, he leaves behind his loving and supportive wife, Heather, and their three small children. Their marriage is the envy of the base, both believing strongly in the calling to serve in the military.

Darren knows he’s there to support the troops in their darkest moments as their chaplain, but what he doesn’t realize is that he will face his own dark moments, which will have lasting effects on his marriage.

Meanwhile, Heather is creating a community among the other wives and families left behind. She rallies support back home, realizing the dangers the men and women serving overseas are facing, but she also begins to notice a change in Darren during their brief conversations.


When he returns, he is no longer the man who left-the man Heather married. His greatest fear is letting her down, but instead of opening up to her, he shuts her out. Their marriage was so strong before. But how can they get back to where they were . . . or find a new way forward? Indivisible is a story of sacrifice, marriage, and faith that will leave audiences full of hope even amid their most challenging times.

My Review

What an emotional, eye-opening, inspirational novel our author presents to us in Indivisible. My mind and heart were opened to the realities of PTSD, and also the realities of warfare. Having soldiers in my family in the past, but not actually experiencing a family member being deployed, I thought the author did a great job of helping us understand and feel the reality of the soldier and the family he has to leave behind. I certainly gained more respect for the challenges they face, especially how the Lord carried them through with the support of others in the same situation. I was reminded how every experience effects each one of us and changes us in different ways that sometimes cause issues in the family dynamic. I learned how without the Lord & brothers/sisters in Christ, we wouldn't make it through trials. I learned how even though we may not understand why things happen, the Lord has a perfect plan for it all. I felt like I truly delved into a new world with an emotional, fast-moving plot, truly relatable characters, and a reminder of the hope we have in Christ. I feel like any fiction reader could find some truth and enjoyment in Indivisible. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book, and all opinions given are my own.

More about Indivisible

This book is based on a true story, so we’d love for readers and moviegoers to meet the real Darren and Heather Turner:

Darren and Heather Turner both grew up in Georgia, and met in 1999 when Darren was working in campus ministry at the University of Georgia. (Darren is still a Bulldog at heart.) Heather was working as a recruiter for an organization that sends English teachers overseas, and Darren had just returned from a year teaching English in Mongolia when they met. Married that same year, they served another six years together in campus ministry and added three children to their family. Through the husband of a friend of Heather’s, Darren learned that opportunities existed for service as a military chaplain. In 2006, Darren completed seminary, was commissioned in the Army, and deployed almost immediately.

Their family’s experiences from this timeframe are the basis of the new movie INDIVISIBLE. Darren, who is on active duty, and Heather are passionate about serving military families, marriage counseling, and leading marriage retreats. The Turners currently live in North Carolina with their children Elie, Samuel, and Meribeth. Learn more about the Turners!

  1. Thank you posting a review and hosting this book. I have had first hand experience with PSTD following wartime experience. It is very difficult.
