Nick is a soldier who served in Afghanistan.  He's on medical leave because a traumatic event left him suffering from inexplicable and totally random bouts of temporary blindness.  The doctors hope that spending time with his significant other, Margo might help cure it since Nick has been away from her for over a year.  Together, they try to rekindle their love in spite of the hand that fate has given them.If you've read Vincent Zandri's previous work, you know that he is one of the masters of portraying emotion.  Since he writes in first person, the reader is hearing what Nick thinks and feeling what he feels.  At the same time though, we are seeing the frustration in his significant other as she struggles to deal with Nick's blindness as best she can.  She is upset because she doesn't understand what Nick is going through and she's having a hard time gauging how to test him.  He's getting frustrated because he feels she's being too easy on him and this makes them both question everything.  Margo, wondering if she can handle all of the odd things that Nick does to push himself and the stares it gains.  While Nick is feeling like his fiancée doesn't love him anymore because he has changed.  All of it comes together to show that while Nick isn't in Afghanistan anymore, he's still waging a war.  Will that war be won?  I don't know, but I think we start to see some steps here and I would certainly love to see more of this genre from Vincent Zandri.Thank you to Vincent Zandri for the review copy.  It in no way influenced my review.
