From the back cover
After her family fell, Sarah left the military and borrowed from loan sharks to care for her uncle Marcus, who was said to be dying of ALS. For five years she endured broken ribs, exhaustion and hunger, giving every cent to his care while he sat in a wheelchair.
One night, waitressing at the Astoria Grand, she sees Marcus standing tall in uniform among his comrades. He has faked his illness for five years, a punishment meant to last until Elsie returns from the Capital. His orders are clear: no one is to help Sarah, not even Captain Grant, and no word of the truth may reach her.
At home Marcus plays the helpless invalid again, while on the phone he promises Elsie a birthday surprise. Sarah's own illness, unlike his, is real, and the next day at the military hospital a doctor speaks of a new experimental drug.

For five years, I endured it all—broken ribs without painkillers, exhaustion without rest—every cent went to his care.
One night, while waitressing at the Astoria Grand, I saw him.
