Dear John

The story starts out with John being a sergeant in the military, he joined to straighten out his life, he was a young troubled kid who needed some discipline. A couple years after joining, he decided to come home to visit his father who has some sort of disease, autism or some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder. While he was on leave, he returned home to check up on his father and see how he was doing. Then he met Savannah. Savannah made Johns hear melt, he fell in love with her within just two weeks of being home. His short summer romance gave him so much hard ache when he had to return to his base. John would be gone for a year, he anticipated when he would be able to see Savannahs face again. Savannah wrote him everyday until he returned home for good. Then, devastation struck the heart of the country. The 9/11 attacks on the US left John with a huge decision to either fight for his country or marry Savannah. Contemplating as what to do, this decision would affect his love for forever. All of his team members wanted to re-enlist. John joined, he felt like he needed to serve his country and fight for what he believes in. Savannah was left in ruins. She has to idea what to do and she doesn't know if she can wait any longer for him. Her heart had already been aching with pain from the last time that he left her, he would be gone for another year. This is as far as I have gotten in the book so far. It's definitely sad.
