Battle-Worn Friend

By Hayden Ellingworth

War takes many things-but sometimes, it gives back in the most unexpected way.

North Africa, 1943. After surviving a brutal ambush and a stint in an Axis POW camp, British mechanic Frank Barnes of the 78th Division escapes into the desert with nothing but a battered uniform and a stubborn will to live

Then comes Jack-a half-starved mutt with more fight left in him than most men.
Together, they cross scorched terrain riddled with enemies, wreckage, and ghosts. In war, trust is a rare thing. But man and dog find it in each other-and in the strangers they meet along the way.

Battle Worn Friend is a raw, soul-deep story of survival, unlikely brotherhood, and the bond that can form when everything else is lost.
