Breach

By: Kelly Sokol

Narrated by: Kerri Furey

The boundary between battlefield and home front blurs. Are there wounds love can heal?

Marleigh Mulcahy grew up in a boxing gym, the daughter of hard-drinking parents who didn't keep a stable roof overhead. In the cinder-block Box-n-Go, amidst the sweat and funk, she meets EOD specialist Jace Holt, a highly and expensively trained bomb diffuser with three successful deployments behind him. With a heady mix of hope, carelessness, and a ridiculous amount of courage, they begin a family. When Jace returns to active duty, a roadside bomb resurrects ghosts from the couple's past and threatens the life they've built.

An unflinching and timely gaze into the marriage of an enlisted special operator and his wife, Breach is a story of betting it all on love, a couple's determination to change the trajectory of their lives, and one woman's promises to the man she loves and the boys they're raising.

What choices will a desperate mother make to keep her family whole?

Fiction uncomfortably close to real life.

Great character development. I felt I really knew the protagonist. Tension continued to build throughout the story. Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. The ending was perfect! The narrator was good, but there was too long of a pause between chapter breaks. Just a technical thing. I want more from this author!!
