Merit

By Laurie Jacobs

A decorated career officer has always measured
his worth by his ribbons, rank, and record. He knows
how to lead, how to win, and how to keep moving
forward. Control, discipline, and performance
have defined his life.
When a battle-scarred chaplain enters his world,
everything he thought gave his life meaning
is called into question. The chaplain carries
a decoration no army awards-one that cannot
be earned, only received.
To gain it, the officer must let go of the very record
he has built his identity on and discover a worth
greater than anything the world can give.
Merit is a story about identity, sacrifice, and
the kind of treasure that changes everything.
