I wish I could better express how good this book is. The story is set on a big cattle ranch in West Texas. Jenna and her small son, Zach, have moved back in with her family following a devastating divorce. Her old friend Nate has just returned home from Afghanistan and Iraq, and the sparks fly. Zach, however, is have a very hard time with post traumatic stress syndrome. With the help of Jenna and her family, Zack eventually seeks help. I didn't know much about PTSD. Jenna's father, who was a Viet Nam vet, was able to help Nate as he struggled with recovery. This was a hopeful and upbeat book, for the most part. The setting is great. I enjoyed the part about the huge Homecoming corsages in the small football crazy town! I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
