Some wounds follow us home. Others have been waiting for us all along.
At twenty-one, Jim Masterson is ready to leave his old life behind. Haunted by the murder of his younger sister, he dreams of college, a career with the FBI, and a future far removed from the tragedy that shattered his family.
Then, on the train bound for his childhood home in Savannah, he meets Sara-and suddenly that future includes someone he never expected.
But when Jim joins the Army, combat changes everything. He returns carrying memories he cannot escape and losses even Sara's love cannot heal. As the battle within him grows more dangerous, Jim travels to his family's ancestral home in the mysterious hills of Sintra, Portugal, where unexplained encounters challenge every thing he believes about life, death, and the people we leave behind.
To find his way forward, Jim must finally confront the grief he has carried since childhood-and decide whether those we lose are ever truly gone.
Keep Me Forever is an emotional story of love, the military, family, grief, and the unseen bonds that endure beyond loss.
