I'm currently re-writing a novel I wrote back in 2010 where a US soldier, Major Kirsten "Kris" Reed, PTD, is forced into medical retirement from the Army after suffering a dual amputation and losing her fiance in the attack. When she returns to the US, she discovers that her parents moved and their home was sold to her fiance's foster brother, Benjamin "Ben" Harper. In trying to get back on her feet, he allows her to stay with him and his three children.
The story revolves around her trying to deal with PTSD, working through her loss/grief over her fiance, and her slowly growing to relate/love Ben as they both deal with grief together (him at the loss of both his foster brother and his deceased wife years prior).
When I originally wrote it, I was in high school, and so much was stressed on the male character's grief and loss, rather than the main character. Additionally, the PTSD was majorly underplayed to the point of being unrealistic. So I want to rewrite it both for myself as well as hopefully giving a tasteful, Christian story revolving around such themes.
