Samantha and her twin brother planned to become partners in farming, determined to use their college funds to finance themselves. Her brother's death in the Desert War leaves her devastated--and more determined to make their dream come true. Two families struggle with the effects of the wars in the Middle East, from the emotional trauma and from the burden it places on everyday life for humans and for a king German shepherd who seems to be a stray. Sammy defies every convention and purchases the old Parker homestead, using her college fund and her portion of the death benefit from her twin's service-related death. With the help of a vet who suffers from PTSD, the old farm is coming back to life, until arson brings the scrutiny of several police agencies. Sammy learns that their biggest enemy is not Ben Parker's PTSD. Someone is waging an insane war against the two-centuries-old Parker Farm and everyone near it. Mystery, romance, and a generous measure of humor result from Samantha's discovery of an old recipe box.
