A Journal for Jordan

Pages : 290
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A hauntingly beautiful account of a family fractured by war . . . filled with vivid and heartbreaking details.”—The New York Times Book Review NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • “Full of wonderful treasures offered by a unique and spirited father . . . written with serene grace: part memoir, part love story, all heart.”—James McBride, author of The Color of Water In 2005, Dana Canedy’s fiancé, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, began to write what would become a two-hundred-page journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq. He was killed by a roadside bomb on October 14, 2006. His son, Jordan, was seven months old. Inspired by his example, Dana was determined to preserve his memory for their son. A Journal for Jordan is a mother’s fiercely honest letter to her child about the parent he lost before he could even speak. It is also a father’s advice and prayers for the son he will never know. A father figure to the soldiers under his command, Charles moved naturally into writing to his son. In neat block letters, he counseled him on everything from how to withstand disappointment and deal with adversaries to how to behfrave on a date. And he also wrote of recovering a young soldier’s body, piece by piece, from a tank—and the importance of honoring that young man’s life. He finished the journal two months before his death while home on a two-week leave, so intoxicated with love for his infant son that he barely slept. This is also the story of Dana and Charles together—two seemingly mismatched souls who loved each other deeply and lost each other too soon. A Journal for Jordan is a tender introduction, a loving good-bye, a reporter’s inquiry into her soldier’s life, and a heartrending reminder of the human cost of war.

For ten years of Gray Rose's life she thought no other love could measure up to her long-time beau and baby's father, Gunz Marciano, until she met Cameron Parthens Jr. He came into her life and turned everything upside down with his devastating good looks, cocky demeanor, brash attitude and unfiltered way of speaking. When they first met it was hate at first sight. She'd never met someone so rude and hood in her life. Cam made it clear he didn't want a relationship. He just wanted to smash. Never in a million years did he plan on cuffin' Gray and making her his wife but over time he found his self fallin' hard for the plus-size, blue-eyed, half black and Korean beauty. Before Gray knew it, she too started catching feelings. She quickly found herself pullin' up every time he told her to fall through. Over the course of two months, she and Cam formed a bond built on friendship, honesty, unconditional support and mind-numbing sex. Tired of Gunz playing games with her mind and nonstop cheating, Gray chucked him up the deuce and married Cam on a whim. But marriage doesn't the fix the scars Gunz left behind. It forces her to realize she's far more insecure than she thought. Cam also has leftover baggage from a previous relationship and deep dark secrets that may scare Gray away. Will Cam live up to his wedding vow and be the man Gray believes he is, or will he leave her heart even more damaged and broken than Gunz did?
