When a mysterious woman suddenly enters his life, wounded veteran Brent Edwards is forced to confront his lack of self-esteem and unwarranted shame. With kind words and a gentle touch, his new friend will encourage him to recount the battle that nearly cost him his life, and come to terms with the wounds that drive him to solitude. As he relives the fateful hour, Brent will find himself forced to wrestle with his demons as he looks for answers in the past-a past that might justify an honor for which he cannot find reason. Intimidated by the awesome power of feminine splendor, Brent struggles to find meaning in a woman's affection for a man ravaged by the throes of war and lost in a world of personal torment. Taken by her beauty and torn by her motives, he will soon discover that his is not a solitary pain, and that honor is found where least expected.
