A Soldier's Heart
Description
Some loves last forever. Some promises can't be kept.
A Soldier's Heart is a decades-spanning saga of one man and the women who loved him.
Travis Barrett, the idealistic son of a minister, is driven to protect those he loves ? even from himself.
His failures haunt him.
He knows loving someone just brings pain for both of them.
He'll never make that mistake again. He'll risk his life, but not his heart.
But a heart can be broken over and over. Just ask Beth.
When Travis meets Jeanne, he must make a choice: risk loving again or rip out both their hearts.
Is it too late to overcome the past and create a future with her?
A uniquely crafted story, A Soldier's Heart takes us on the journey of one man's life and the lasting impact he has on those he loves and who love him. Told retrospectively through the eyes of his family, military comrade, and the women he's loved, we see the heart of Travis and the man he is. Virginia L. Neely infuses each chapter with deeply sincere memories and emotion through each character's recollection, giving us an insight into Travis' mind and heart. As much as Travis shapes the lives of those around him, they too leave their imprint. For Travis, love is not just a word, it's a way of living. A most excellent story well told.
