Inhaltsangabe

A LOVE LOST.
A LIFE CUT SHORT.

'From the moment I set eyes on him I adored him. The connection between us was so strong it went beyond everything else. His job, my job, his lifestyle, my lifestyle. All that fell away.'

And then one earth-shattering day Christina's worst nightmare came true when Oz was killed on his final day of duty before flying home to his family.

This is Christina and Oz's story: a story about love and loss, hope and despair and of living in constant fear. Christina's extraordinary bravery and composure is an inspiration to anyone who has ever lost someone they love.
