It's a love story that unfolds on two levels. On one level, it's the story of two people who love each other—a warrior and his 'warrior wife' who confront his demons together. Jen and Tom Satterly give readers a realistic and compelling narrative of a couple who learns to walk through the valleys together—when rage is the third party in the relationship. On another level, it is about the love that Tom and Jen Satterly feel for those in their tribe.
