After Honor's brother, Finn, dies in Iraq, she receives a letter from him with one final request, which leads her to the farewell concert of Finn's favorite singer. Accompanying Honor--much to her dismay--is her brother's ex-best-friend Rusty. The budding romance between this odd couple is convincing, and the gradual revelations about Finn and his military service are affecting.
