This story is about a man, Alex Rodriguez, who returns to his wife, Anna, after fighting in Afghanistan. He is fighting the demons that haunt him. He loves his wife and she loves him, but he is definitely a changed man. This is not the man that Anna married and sent off to war. Alex is struggling with post traumatic stress disorder. Anna is struggling with trying to find her husband inside this troubled being that has returned home.
This story is a hard one, but moves you as you read it. Amara does a great job of allowing you to understand the struggles of returning veterans. We should all read this book, so we can understand what is going on in the heads and hearts of our fighting men and women. In addition to the reality of war, Amara tells a wonderful story of love and healing.
