Publisher's Summary

There’s no fight like the one inside.

Christine discovers this the hard way right after her passing out parade, when her estranged mother Isabelle gives her a mysterious letter.

Despite her burning need to know the truth about her past, Christine refuses to read it.

Instead, she immerses herself in her combat medic training and forms a strong bond with Andi, a quick-witted female medic with way more life experiences than Christine herself.

Passing her medic’s exam and reuniting with her squadron, including Ben, makes Christine feel useful again, but her grandmother’s illness and their long-distance communication remain a thorn in her heart.

Will her deployment to Afghanistan help her gain a new perspective, or will it only shatter her glorified idea of fighting for her country?

As Christine struggles to come to terms with her mother’s new relationship, their broken connection, and a devastating loss, she finally makes the decision to read that fateful letter, only to have her world turned upside down once again…

Has her entire life been a lie fabricated to protect her?

By the time this war is over, Christine will find out what she’s lost and won.
