The military is not all about action and rampage; it involves losses and heartbreaks as well.

The military is not all about action and rampage; it involves losses and heartbreaks as well. Marc Hardage’s tear-jerking novel, “The Knock,” shows how a man’s life affects the people around him. Hardage shares in his book a relevant situation between soldiers, who protect the peace and liberty of a country, and the families they leave behind.

“The Knock” starts with Crockett family hosting a celebration for their youngest member, Dusty, who scored a winning goal at the Oklahoma State Championship. Every member of the family is there to celebrate, except for Travis, who is serving the navy in Afghanistan. To add to everyone’s excitement, Travis’s wife reveals an ultrasound scan. However, a knock at the door disrupts the celebration. It’s the US Navy chaplain, and he brings news that will forever change the Crocketts.

Priscilla Estes of the US Review of Books recommends “The Knock” and says Hardage shares a realistic view of the families and friends of soldiers who protect America. Amazon customer, Maria Birkhead, gives the book a five-star rating and reveals she never really understood the enormity of a soldier’s sacrifice until she read the book. Copies of “The Knock” are now available in selected bookstores.
