A Warrior's Son

Thirteen-year old Jake Bennetts 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 family adjusts their lives to his dads absences and returns. A Warriors 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 warriors son.
