This novel was both a joy and a challenge to write; a joy because it's my hope that the characters reflect the honor and integrity of those who serve in the military, and a challenge because.., well, to be completely honest, I find that every novel I write is challenging.There are those people, however, who makethe challenge that much easier, and Without further ado, I'd like to thank them.

When John meets Savannah, he realises he is ready to make some changes. Always the angry rebel at school, he has enlisted in the army, not knowing what else to do with his life. Now he's ready to turn over a new leaf for the woman who has captured his heart.

What neither realises is that the events of 9/11 will change everything. John is prompted to re-enlist and fulfil what he feels is his duty to his country. But the lovers are young and their separation is long. Can they survive the distance?
