Synopsis:

Like many couples, Michael and Jolene Zarkades have to face the pressure of everyday life — children, careers, bills, chores — even as their twelve-year marriage is falling apart. Then an unexpected deployment sends Jolene deep into harm’s way and leaves defense attorney Michael at home, unaccustomed to being a single parent to their two girls. As a mother, it agonizes Jolene to leave her family, but as a soldier she has always understood the true meaning of duty. In her letters home, she paints a rose-colored version of her time on the front lines, shielding her family from the truth. But war will change Jolene in ways none of them could have foreseen. When tragedy strikes, Michael must face his darkest fear and fight a battle of his own — for everything that matters to his family.
