A Soldier's Guide to Single Parenting
After losing his wife to illness, a decorated war hero is determined to keep his family together, but his parenting skills are tested during the summer break by financial restraints, an increasing reliance on alcohol, and the discovery that his eldest son is gay.
The story is set somewhere in North America in the not too distant past. Readers are invited to guess the exact year and place and there are subtle clues in each of the ten chapters.
My thanks to TimothyM, Carlos Hazday, and Sweetlion, for their valuable help and guidance.
