Heartbreaking look at a man whose given his life to the Army and ended up not only losing his family but he also lost himself and has no idea how to repair the damage he’s caused and become a normal functioning person away from war.Trent and Laura’s story started in Because of You. At first glance we thought they had the perfect marriage with two children. But before long everything came unraveled. When that book ended not only had Trent lost good men along with two of his closes friends were wounded he was also being accused of crimes that if convicted he faced being court marshaled and his wife served him with divorce papers.This book picks up with Trent going home to try and salvage not only his reputation but also his marriage. This book shows us why this series is called Coming Home. My heart broke for Trent for most of this book. The author did a fabulous job of showing what its like for these guys seeing what they see over there and having to come back home and try and act like they haven’t seen the atrocities they have and then try to have a normal relationship with their wives and children. We’re also given the view of the army wife who stood by her man through many deployments basically playing the role of single mother for years and she was ok with that until Trent stop communicating with her and lied about the reasons for all of his deployments.The root of this book is about two people who used to love each other deeply then realizing that they are no longer the two people they married and then getting to know each other again and seeing that it doesn’t matter that they’ve changed because the core of their love is still there.I’ve wanted Trent and Laura’s story since I first read Because of You and I was not disappointed.
