Sergeant Emily Sanders kissed her four-year-old daughter goodbye in 2004 with an 'I'll see you later' and walked away for a year-long deployment to Iraq. Sanders never made it home, and Tara, the four-year-old little girl, grew up never believing her mother was killed in action.

​

In this Fifth Anniversary Edition, follow Tara as she volunteers for a humanitarian mission to Iraq to learn what really happened to her mother all those years ago.

​

Will she uncover the truth about whether or not her mother was killed in Iraq? And is Tara ready to face her mother's ghost and find a way to carry on with the truth?

​

No matter what happens, Tara lives by her mother's motto ~ Always Forward.

​

The Fifth Anniversary Edition includes the first three novellas in the series: Always Forward, Chasing Ghosts, and Carry On. Also included will be a poetry collaboration, bonus chapters and a military terms glossary.
