The Weight of Sand

Some battles don't end when you come home.

Cal Bishop left a part of himself in Afghanistan-alongside brothers whose names are now etched into stone. Back in coastal North Carolina, he's a man adrift, haunted by flashbacks, sleepless nights, and the weight of promises he couldn't keep.

Then Ana walks into his life. She doesn't try to fix him. She listens. She stays. And slowly, against the backdrop of salty winds and quiet mornings, Cal begins to believe in something he thought he'd buried overseas: hope.

Through memories of combat and the wrenching aftermath, The Weight of Sand is a deeply human story about love that grows in the cracks, the ghosts we carry, and the courage it takes to set them down.
