What Men Carry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798242495401)

Rocky has spent his life holding everything together. The work. The land. The people he loves. After the sudden death of a boy he promised to protect, Rocky does what he's always done-he keeps moving. He works harder. He sleeps less. He tells everyone he's fine. His body disagrees. As grief settles into his chest and silence fills the spaces Jordy left behind, Rocky's heart begins to fail in ways no one can see at first. Doctors dismiss it as stress. He dismisses it as weakness. Only Brittany-the boy's mother and the woman who has learned the sound of danger-knows something is wrong. This is not a story about miracles. It's a story about endurance, about the cost of being the strong one, and about what happens when love lives in the body long after loss. As Rocky is forced to stop for the first time in his life, he must face a question he's avoided for months:
What if staying alive is the bravest thing he's ever done?
