NightshadeBy Ronie KendigDescription:
Soldiers all across the globe are returning home to their families after brutal tours of duty. They are discharged from the service. . .and on their own. Meet Max Jacobs, one of these discarded heroes, as he faces a wall of failure—in his career, his friendships, and his marriage. Failing again—this time to end his life—he is offered a thread of hope. Are covert government operations the answer for him, or will they only bring more danger and dissension upon his broken family? Awards:
Why the author wrote this book:After encountering a family torn apart when the Navy SEAL husband could not control his anger and quick temper, a deep conviction grew in me to never portray our heroes without revealing at least some of the psychological/emotional/relational impact their sacrifices cost them in their lives "back home." |
