Kylie Brewer is returning to Conard County after being in
Denver for three years in graduate school. A traumatic
experience has occurred in her life. She was attacked and
left for dead in an alley, stabbed numerous times and
left unconscious. Her memory of those three years is gone,
along with all she learned seeking her Master's degree in
Nursing. She returns to the home she grew up in to live
with her sister Glenda. Currently Glenda has a house guest,
Evan Cooper. He's visiting his cousin Connie while on leave
from the Marine Corp. Connie doesn't have the room, so
Glenda volunteered her spare bedroom.
Kylie isn't comfortable with new people. She's not
comfortable with many people these days. When a note is
delivered to her home with a single black rose in it, she
is once again fearful for her life. Coop is determined to
keep Kylie safe and find the person who is scaring her. But
with someone in town preying on young children, the
sheriff's department is shorthanded on people to protect
Kylie. Coop is also determined to bring her back from the
dark place where Kylie is living in her mind. Will Kylie's
memory return and can Coop keep her safe from another
attack?
Return to Conard County with Rachel Lee's latest
installment in her Conard County: The Next Generation
series. CONARD COUNTY MARINE is a dramatic, suspenseful
tale about moving forward with your life when interruptions
occur. Kylie is a strong and resilient character who is
suffering through the fallout of unimaginable trauma. She
has also lost her sense of safety. Coop is a strong Marine
who has seen his fair share of the unimaginable through
war. Together they cling to each other and try to heal. Ms.
Lee gives us a lot of insight into the struggle our
military men go through on the battlefront and in the
aftermath when they return home. CONARD COUNTY MARINE is
a story about moving forward and doing the best we can.
It's about what we do with the interruptions that life
brings our way and how we can rise above them. I've enjoyed
every book in this series, and I'm sure you will too. They
are easily read as a stand-alone, but the entire series is
too good to miss.
