Helpful Score: 2

I liked this book - not that it was an easy read. Throughout the book, you feel the physical and emotional pain of a mother who has lost her eldest son to the war in Afghanistan - not to the enemy but by "friendly" fire. The discovery of that fact and the family's continued attempts to get answers surrounding his death is frustrating even from a reader's position. The ensuing cover-up/manipulation of the facts is both surprising and expected. This is a loving tribute to an exceptional young man and his family.
