The Warrior's Burden

During his three danger-filled tours in Iraq, US Army Captain Keith Powell was knee-deep in the worst of the worst. He battled through it all, finally making it home to his family, only to find that the war had followed.
As an intelligence officer with the US Special Operations Command, Keith took on car bomb networks, interrupted assassination attempts, and saved lives by preventing suicide bombings. Home should have been a safe place. But when a former enemy reappears, the family he's just started to reconnect with is threatened. And this time he is forced to get through it alone. The Pentagon wants to pretend nothing happened, and his community turns on him-his parents are even chased out of their hometown church.
These troubles pile up heavily, weighing him down until he is all but crushed. But one strange encounter will make all the difference. A random bar and an unusual stranger prove to be a turning point for Keith, when he finally finds the strength to see light in the future. In this action-packed story of war, family, and faith, the world is not as he always thought it'd be, but there might be some hope after all.
