Book Cover & Preview Text
Jacob replies quickly. “I know these guys out here. They are just like me – hopeless.”
That comment caused Melissa to roll her head side to side, clasp her hands in the air and unleash a heated verbal barrage as she turns to him.
“What? What are you talking about, Jacob? You mean war casualties – the walking dead? I thought you went to war to defeat the enemy. The war is not over for you! The ones that set the bomb that killed Macie are also now killing you. They have killed our soldiers in their land and are slowly killing you and others way over here in America. They fought to defeat your ability to survive over there and now they get double benefit when they defeat your ability to survive here at home. You are still in combat. They don’t even have to set another bomb because you have a bomb exploding within you. That’s the bomb you have to find now. You have got to keep seeking to destroy the bombs and the enemy within!”

About the Book
When Jacob Jones joins the army and is thrust into the heat of battle on foreign soil, he is mentally prepared and trained for combat. After a fiery explosion transforms him from a strong soldier into a disabled veteran, Jacob soon discovers he is not mentally prepared or trained for his subsequent fi ght with post-traumatic stress disorder. There is no question his new enemy is proving to be his most formidable.
Now immersed in a vicious conflict within himself where recurring nightmares about war relentlessly plague him, Jacob is tended to by his brother, mother, and a dedicated family friend who provide encouragement, hope, and faith in miracles. But when Jacob’s brother is fatally injured during a heroic effort to stop a robbery, it is only then that Marcus is finally able to help Jacob heal—through his new powerful role as a dream maker.
Dream Makers shares the tale of a war veteran’s struggle with post-traumatic stress syndrome as a miracle comes through an unexpected sacrifice.
