Sweet, Hereafter

By Angela Johnson

Shoogy left home with all her jeans still in the washer because she couldn't think of a reason to stay. She's not sure where she belongs, until she meets Curtis. Curtis knows for certain where he does not want to be and that's to be back in the army. He is happy to be in Ohio, where it is quiet and he can spend time with Shoogy. But when Curtis gets orders to return to Iraq, will belonging with each other be enough to keep Shoogy and Curtis together?
