About this book

A deeply damaged female soldier home from the war in Afghanistan becomes obsessed with finding a missing girl, gains an unlikely ally in a stray dog, and encounters new perils beyond the combat zone. LeAnne Hogan went to Afghanistan and came back missing an eye and with half her face badly scarred. She can barely remember the disastrous desert operation that almost killed her, and suspects the fault is hers. Shattered by the sudden death of her hospital roommate, Marci, LeAnne's native land is now unfamiliar, recast in shadow by her one good eye, her damaged psyche, her weakened body. Arriving in the rain-soaked small town in Washington State that Marci had called home, she learns her eight-year-old daughter has vanished. When a dark, unreadable dog seems to adopt LeAnne, a surprising connection is formed and something shifts inside her. Obsessed with finding Marci's daughter, LeAnne and her canine companion are drawn into danger.
