"She pictured herself in a better place than she was already experiencing, yet found herself back at home. 'Futile!', she cried. Then cried hysterically, uncontrollably, tiresome, and dreadfully. Only Thomas could comfort her."
The girl he loves has been a national war hero. When she finally comes home to him, she's..... Different. Jumpy and easily frightened. She wasn't like that when they were kids. Comes to find out, the army and the horrors she witnessed overseas gave her PTSD. But the young loving cowboy is determined that nothing will take her away. Not insanity and not the army. Never again.
