Sweet Courage by Chris Keniston

Sweet Courage is the next book in the K9 Heroes Series and the 10th book in the Honeysuckle, Texas series.  However, it is important to remember the books can be read as stand-alones, but they are so good you might not want to do that.  

Chris Keniston’s books in the last few books have highlighted soldiers who have survived through deployment, but need strong rehab to deal with their long term health problems.  On top of that, the books have also added a K9 dog who can not return to duty and is struggling with their own difficulties.  Each of the subjects are treated with dignity and allowed the room to grow and heal.  It doesn’t hurt that there seems to be a new woman in the area for various reasons that really spark with the soldiers.

This particular soldier, Hanson Taylor has short term memory issues and other executive issues.  Along comes a new teacher Katherine Sutton to help Mason and recognizes Hanson’s difficulties and is able to help him find some accommodations that make a difference. Hanson and Katherine are great together!

Sweet Courage by Chris Keniston has written another sweet novel that while telling a great story, reminds us of the silent wounds many soldiers return with impacting their life longterm.   Another great read!
