Liberate from Darkness — Scott Meehan

Liberate from Darkness is the story of an American Special Forces soldier, Ron Hawkins, his Afghan wife Sarah, and their children. As they confront evil forces through the post 9/11 era, Hawkins, the quiet professional, puts duty, honor, family and faith above self-interest. Beginning with the Soviet invasion into Afghanistan, the war-torn country faces American soldiers after 9/11, where Ron first meets, then rescues Sarah. While escaping the Taliban through the harsh Hindu Kush Mountains, Ron and Sarah fall into an improbable love for each other, a love that led to marriage. Years later, the conflict between good and evil solidifies in the Anbar Province of Iraq during the “uprising,” in 2006 and then intensifies in 2014 Kurdistan with the fight against ISIS, a fight that reaches its treacherous conclusion in Fallujah where allies and enemies entangle in the battleground of the war on terror and the quest for energy resources. A story for today's headlines, Liberate from Darkness is a study in character, values, courage, nobility, honesty, selflessness, and faith. Liberate from Darkness is an unforgettable story about a soldier who personifies the liberator of the oppressed and a woman who stands up to and defeats the odds against burdened women of the world.
