Description

What will you do with your dash? You know, the dash between the date you're born and the day you die?Ethan Whitehead wasn't doing much with his. He had defied the odds in the Middle East as an embedded reporter during the war, experiencing the kind of up-close trauma that would either break a guy, or inspire him to new heights when he survives. It was definitely the kind of trauma that made headlines. But that was a long time ago. The kind of distant memory that came up only in cold sweats and sudden flashbacks.Oh sure, life is good now. He had what some would say was a glamorous job as a globetrotting journalist living in London. He was happily married to a remarkable and gorgeous woman. But he wasn’t fulfilled. He was simply going with the flow.When an unspeakable tragedy strikes his family living in a small Alabama town, Ethan is forced to return home to the States to tackle some harsh truths about his family and his past.Oh, and while he’s there, he gets a once in a lifetime story dropped into his lap that could shake the foundation of the United States Government to its core. All in a day’s work. All in a day’s headline.Full of twists and turns, with just the right touch of wry humor and human insight, this debut novel from Ryan D. Hall will keep you turning the pages, ready for what comes next. Pick up your copy today.
