Book excerpt: He’s home from the war, but his own battle is just beginning. After 9/11, Nolan Wright knew enlisting in the army was his ticket out of small-town South Carolina. He’d return a decorated war hero and finally earn his parents’ approval. But when his unfinished tour in Afghanistan leaves him disabled, he comes home to a life—and a family—he barely recognizes. Benji idolized his older brother, but being abandoned once by Nolan was painful enough. Now, Benji shuns him, vowing to spend one awesome summer with his best friend instead. That is, until Nolan offers Benji a real chance at the relationship he always wanted. Benji must choose: spend his summer with the best friend who’s been there or with the brother who hasn’t. But Nolan isn’t finding a new normal, not even close, and the family he needs is unraveling. Benji must find a way to forgive his brother and convince Nolan there is life after war. If he fails, Benji risks losing his brother forever.
