It’s Grover and Sierra’s turn. When he first meets the diminutive red head, Grover is struck. He looks forward to getting to know her better via letters, but when he hears nothing from her, he’s truly disappointed. Then he learns that she’s left Afghanistan and no one knows where she went. What is more unsettling is that several other American contractors have seemed to disappear as well. When he gets a letter from Sierra, dated a year earlier, he knows something bad has happened to her and sets off to find her.
Sierra wanted to serve her country in some capacity, so she signed on with a contractor to work in food service. The last thing she expected was to be taken hostage by a low level member of the Taliban who uses her to perfect his groups’ torture tactics to rise up in the ranks. Even further from her mind is seeing Grover again, as a fellow prisoner no less! This was an excellent coda to the series and the lovely epilogues that follow are heart warming.
