Operation Dad — Heidi Vanlandingham

After being injured in the Afghan war, Mark Sutherland realizes he's lost everything: his unit and his military career. Saying goodbye to his brothers-in-arms on the 4th of July seems the natural thing to do, but could he truly let them go?



Chandra Nelson has a gift. She talks to ghosts. Growing up in the shadow of Arlington Cemetery was magical, but after her brother's death and his burial in Arlington, some of that magic disappeared. After meeting Mark, with the help of her son and a Civil War general, Chandra realizes goodbyes might be the first step into the rest of their lives.
