It's a sunny Sunday here in Poinciana and a great omen for the coming week and the start of March. This month I'll be giving you previews of the second book in "The Domenico Family Case Files" series. The title is "Once a Soldier" and here is the blurb to whet your appetites. * * * * LTC Marco Domenico, a thirty-nine year old
Delta Force operative, suffers severe injuries when the helicopter in which he
is a passenger crashes during a secret mission.
Marco’s injuries may prevent him from ever walking again. His sister, Guiliana Leoni, is unable to
leave Italy
in time for his arrival at Walter Reed.
She calls her former college roommate, Ay’ana Levy. Ay’ana agrees to wait for Marco at the
medical center despite her belief her presence will not provide much
support. Marco and Ay’ana have never
gotten along. As the months pass, Marco
faces obstacles in his efforts to walk again—ones which also challenge his view
of himself as a man. He realizes no
matter how mobile he becomes, his Army career has changed, and he must accept
those changes and make plans for the future.
His progress to overcome his physical injuries and regain his confidence
as warrior is remarkable, but the situation with Ay’ana Levy has now
degenerated to the level of internecine warfare. At the urging of his physical therapist,
Marco makes an effort to meet Ay’ana halfway.
Whether the future holds any potential for them to reconcile their
differences and become friends remains an open question. * * * * The first installment starts next Sunday. Check back and have a great week. |
