A Warrior's Son Duke Pasquini

Thirteen-year old Jake Bennett's life turns upside down when his Army dad leaves for the first of three tours in Iraq. His mom and his six-year old brother seem like strangers to him as his military family adjusts their lives to his dad's absences and returns. A Warrior's Son follows Jake through his teen years as he struggles to find a place in his hurting family, while navigating the complexities of girls, sports, and friends through middle school and high school. The story is a testament to the resilience of military families, and to the determination of one boy who must cope with adolescence and the emotional stress of being a warrior's son.
