Meet Major McMurtry... Her voice will draw you into her pain. Her struggle will show you how to overcome. In her search for love you will find hope. Army canine trainer and handler Jane McMurtry served in Afghanistan with her dog Shadow until an IED blew her legs away. Now, after learning to walk again, alongside a new canine companion, Jane is tracking the scent of kidnapped children in the Colorado high country when her past, her inner turmoil, and her current case collide. Though Jane thought she'd have to wait two more years, Shadow returns home when he himself suffers injuries. Now two dogs and one woman will struggle to redeem and get on with their lives. In this struggle, Jane partners with a police officer who will make her face the choice between self-loathing and accepting someone's patient, unconditional love.
What readers are saying... Mr. Suastegui is a fine, fine storyteller. He had me at page one, and my interest never flagged. As the mother of a PTSD son from the Iraqi war this hit home.
