"This deep book highlights the true meaning of sacrifice and love. In the economic chaos of broken down Detroit, Celeste falls in love with Eddie, a wounded Iraq War veteran dealing with his inner PTSD scars. As she finds the courage to follow her dreams to Hawaii, the possibility of healing comes when she redefines her need for love and family. Wounds that we carry inside of us can be healed with time and love, even if they never really leave us."
