In Leah’s mind, the only thing worse than growing up in post-apocalyptic America, is the pressure of being a Redding in post-apocalyptic America. Her brothers are courageous war heroes, her mom is a living legend and symbol of their rebellion against their oppressors, and then there’s Leah.

Battling against post-traumatic stress, Leah adds new material to her nightmares living the horrors of war day after day. Her only refuge is found in her best friend, Ty, her unwavering protector, the anchor in her storm, and the only one who seems to understand her.

When a mission takes an unexpected turn, Ty is killed in action. Before Leah had even recognized the love they shared, her final anchor is severed, and her mind lets go.

Lost in an endless sea of grief, fantasy and reality play tricks on her fractured mind. When she finds herself at the end of her rope, shivering in a puddle of her own vomit, she feels them, arms, strong arms, lifting her from the chaos, carrying her away, calling to her softly, “You will be ok.”

As her mind drifts into the blackness, she fears what she’ll find when she wakes, was it fantasy or reality?

Book Two in The Last Patriots series continues the gritty, inspiring struggle of the Redding family as they continue their fight for the freedom of their fellow Americans. Real war is messy, real heroes are messy, real love is messy. Click the buy-now button to find out if Leah will find hope beyond hope, or is her mind simply playing tricks on her again?
