Having a parent return from military duty is a dream come true. But sometimes, coming home comes with problems.

When Paige’s mom returns from her final tour of Air Force duty, Paige couldn’t be happier for things to go back to normal. But before long, Paige realizes her mom brought something else back with her—an addiction to pain pills. The irritable, medicated, zombie version of her mom isn’t the person Paige wanted to come home. She’ll try anything to get through to her mom and help her with her painful secret. But can Paige get her mom clean without ruining their relationship and her own ROTC dreams?
