Tracking Jane seriesbook 0Next:Shadow-7(2014) →

But that's not the sort of pain pressing down on Jane. She misses Shadow, the dog she trained and had to leave in Afghanistan. If he could come home. If she only had Shadow at her side, she'd handle things better. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he'll come soon, not before he finishes his tour of duty. That's what Army regs and bureaucrats say. That means Jane will have to face her pain alone and either fold under its thumb, or push on as best she can.
