Scars of the Prophet: A Novel of War and Romance by Mingo Kane

Tom Judah has recently come home from his third tour of duty in Iraq. A Marine through and through. His doctors are worried about his mental health. While making his way from Vegas, he meets Jessica. Jessica is from a town not far from his own in Virginia. They decided to make the trip home together. Unfortunately, Tom can't stop the flashbacks.

This book was so beautifully written. The way the author worded this entire book was deep and beautiful and just took you away to another place. You were in Iraq with Tom. You were on the road with Tom and Jessica. You were sitting in a cabin in Virginia. At times I cried for what Tom went through in Iraq. His flashbacks are frequent and unnerving, knowing the men and women in this war are going through and feeling the same horrible things. This is definitely a book worth reading. It will make you feel and think. It also has a wonderful surprise ending that I didn't see coming until the very end.
