Book excerpt: "Life has a purpose and our hearts can lead the way - if we let them." Cory McGuire. This novel is about finding your purpose and motivation by embracing what has always been hiding right in front of you unrealized. Discovered, it can be a call to your own courage that will be used for all the right reasons. In this story a young man leaves his home and joins the US Army in search of himself, his place, and his peace. As war, loss, and healing assail him, he discovers who he is and where his heart truly lies. We truly are all on that journey to some extent - or have been. It's a story about heroes and the sacrificial love it takes to be one - on a military mission or in our homes. Looking for all the security, order and structure of the organization that his father spoke of so often with pride, an angry and confused young man, discovers that no man is an island if he wants to survive and thrive in the world of war and extreme conditions. Driven to be the best, he decides to pursue a position in the elite US Army Special Forces as a Green Beret, but nothing can prepare him for the grueling super-human tests and training he'll have to endure. Like steel that is made stronger in a fire, Cory learns about friendship, sharing the load, and learning to rely on others, all things he's never experienced before - things he considered weaknesses. His experiences highlight not only what these servicemen and women endure to serve this country at the highest and most dangerous level, but they showcase lessons we must all learn, whether we are warriors or regular people. An emotionally charged and daring novel, Where the Heart Lies is a must-read for military and inspirational readers alike.
