Since I have a son currently serving in Afghanistan, this book was very difficult to read for me--on an emotional level.I felt I needed to read it, but didn't really want to know. In the end, I knew that I SHOULD read it and am glad I did. I was very moved by this novel on so many levels that I am having difficulty finding the right words to explain the depth of emotion this book evoked. The writing was so well done that I felt Tom's emotions. I could envision myself on the battle field with him, falling in love with Jessica, and all of the experiences that followed. I have already recommended it to a volunteer at the local VA Hospital as it could have so much value assisting families in understanding what their war veteran might be going through with PTS. This book is written with such passion that it could only be from personal experience. Thank you, Mr. Kane,for your service and for sharing it with us in such a compelling manner. It is sure to help families and friends cope with returning soldiers struggles to assimilate back to civilian life.
