After she is wounded during a combat deployment, her dreams are frightening, and her memories are a kaleidoscope of scattered and chaotic scenes; a collision of past and present, real and unreal.

Fragments of love: lost and found.This story unfolds through multiple perspectives and as the negatives and positives develop, an image of the Model Marine is sharpened into focus.Sondra Sykes Meek has crafted a deeply compelling novel about a young woman who gives up the bright lights of modeling and pageants to join the Marine Corps.
