Downcast
Summary
Gabbie's brother decides to join the army and, much to his dismay, she decides to join him. Although her intentions start off with keeping an eye on her older brother, her direction changes.
When stationed in Iraq one is bound to see a lot of things that will drive them insane- drive them to the point of wanting death to hit them.
Gabbie becomes everyone's little sister, being the youngest and, let's face it, the most naive and inquisitive girl most of them have met.
She ends up being stuck in the biggest corner that any of them have ever seen.
Does Gabbie find love in the most unexpected place, under the most unexpected circumstances?
Does she lose someone close to her to the building raid? What about the street bombing? Or does she lose herself? A part of her? Her soul? Her humanity? Or does she lose one thing she could never get back... her life.
