Rick Stanton was a promising professional baseball player
with dreams of playing in the major leagues and starting a
family with his young wife, Francesca, when World War II
changed everything. Rick returns from the war with his body
broken and his dreams shattered. But it was not just body
and spirit he sacrificed for the war. He and Francesca
volunteered their beloved dog, Pax, for the Army’s K-9 Corp,
not knowing if they’d ever see him again.
Keller Nicholson is the soldier who fought the war with Pax
by his side, and the two have the kind of profound bond that
can only be forged in war. Pax is the closest Keller has to
a sense of family, and he can’t bear the thought of
returning him to the Stantons. But Rick and Francesca
refuse to give him up. Instead, an arrangement is made:
Keller will work as Rick’s live-in aide. And thus an
unlikely family is formed, with steadfast Pax at the center.
As they try to build a new life out of the ashes, Keller
and Francesca struggle to ignore their growing attraction to
each other, and Rick, believing that he can no longer give
Francesca what she needs and wants, quietly plans a way out.
All three of them need healing. All three of them are lost.
And in Susan Wilson's A Man of His Own, Pax, with his
unconditional love and unwavering loyalty, may be the only
one who can guide them home.
