I like encountering deep topics in my fiction. I like to see big relationship dynamics examined, I like to see intense situations overcome, and I like to see big spiritual things happening in the hearts and minds of ordinary people.
I loved seeing the struggle with PTSD and survivor's guilt after a train bombing in Life After. I loved seeing a sister loving and supporting her sister in need of some serious help in Stories that Bind Us. Recently I've loved seeing PTSD touch in on a marriage in Shadows in the Mind's Eye.*
This post-WWII novel is Janyre Tromp's debut bout a soldier returning home with a whole lot of baggage and his wife's struggle and love through it all. This one was painful to read at times because I couldn't help but see Annie's devotion to her husband and her pain through his big PTSD changes but it's very worth the read!
