She Survived the Battlefield — But Nothing Prepared Her for What She Found at Home
The bus screeched to a stop so abruptly that Laura Mendoza nearly stumbled forward.
She stepped down anyway, steady and controlled, her worn military pack hanging low on her back. Three years of war had taught her balance.

The smell of tortillas.
The heat.
The familiar plaza.
She had dreamed of this place during sleepless nights overseas.
But now that she was here, her chest tightened.
