Kate Braestrup's life was changed by the increased loss of her spouse; now Kate faces the possibility that she may lose her son. As a young mother, Kate Braestrup discovered the brutal protectiveness that accompanies parenthood. Within the intervening years - through mourning her spouse and the happiness of remarriage and a combined family - Kate has ingested the rewards and issues of that soul. However when her eldest son joins the marines, Kate reaches a crossroads: Can she reconcile her desire to protect her children with her family's legacy of service? Can parents balance the happiness of a child's freedom with the fear of letting go? As Kate examines the twinned thoughts of trust and dread - motivated by the people she matches as a chaplain and by her son's voyage toward goal and familyhood - she learns that the risks we can't predict will rip us apart and knit us alongside one another.
