Seventeen year-old Jordie Dunn must face the loss of her brother when he's killed in the war in Iraq. But Jordie doesn't believe the military report that his best friend and fellow Marine, Alex Cooper, is at fault. In her quest to find the truth and help Alex, the guy she's had a crush on since the ninth grade, Jordie discovers that the truth isn't the only thing she wants.
PJ Sharon did a great job with the voice. It was easy to read and follow, important topics and real life issues that are hard to deal with, all expressed so well. This book is great for YA as well as for adults, too.
Dealing with the death of a brother or close relative is very hard, especially when they die young. I find the author lets the readers really get a feel of how such grief must be like. With family issues, obstacles to overcome, decisions to make, and a beautiful love story- makes this book a great read, very touching and inspiring.
