Arlington (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781300355366)

Some people come home in pieces. Others come home as a place.

Cpl. Cole Whitaker always figured he'd die under Tennessee stars, a farm boy with dirt on his boots and a laugh in his throat. Instead, he gave his life in the sands of Afghanistan - and found himself standing eternal watch at Arlington National Cemetery.

In this haunting, heartfelt Southern novel, Cole's voice rises from the grave to tell his own story: of family, of sacrifice, of love left behind. From the heat of combat in Kandahar to the quiet grief of those waiting back home, Arlington is a powerful reflection on duty, memory, and the heavy price of service.

For fans of military fiction, Southern storytelling, and novels that make you feel every word deep in your bones, Arlington will break your heart - and remind you why some names should never be forgotten.

If you loved Trace Adkins' Arlington, this book is its living, beating tribute.
