I’ll Get You Home
A scandalous combat photographer.
An irreproachable TV Producer.
Three days under siege.
Pulitzer Prize-winning combat photographer Brenna Rease has spent two and a half years embedded in a war zone. She has witnessed enough atrocity to push her to the brink of madness and she knows she has to get out before it kills her. But when she’s offered the documentary of a lifetime, she can’t resist one last assignment.
TV Producer Grace Alcott finds Brenna’s personal reputation repugnant, knows she will be a management nightmare, and wants nothing to do with her. But with her job on the line, she is forced to hire her anyway.
Before they know it, the two of them are on a Herc C-130, flying into the heart of a besieged Balkan city just as a major military offensive is launched.
For three hellish days in 1994, convinced that escaping alive is impossible, they never consider what it will take to survive once they get back home to Washington, D.C.
Love. War. Family. Redemption.
By Goldie Award winning author Patricia Spencer.

Customer Reviews
This book is broken into three parts, and, believe it or not, it’s a love story set in the middle of a bloody civil war.
This book is broken into three parts, and, believe it or not, it’s a love story set in the middle of a bloody civil war. The relationship between combat photographer Brenna and corporate executive producer Grace appears so incongruous at the beginning. They clearly don’t care for each other, they both have a ton of baggage, and they’re stuck together in a war zone.
Their romance is low key at first. The book itself is gritty and super intense. It’s bloody and violent and compelling! I felt like I was in the middle of the action, and I couldn’t put it down. Grace’s innate kindness wins over bad girl Brenna slowly but surely. Hang on to your hat. This is a powerful story.
A Must Read! This was a very emotional book. It had very graphic parts of war.
A Must Read!
This was a very emotional book. It had very graphic parts of war. It feels as though you are in the war zone yourself.
My first book by Patricia Spencer had me riveted from the beginning. Each character was created beautifully.
This trilogy gave me a book hangover like no book before…

These books are so detailed, so intensely fleshed out that it was like being right there with the characters, experiencing what they were experiencing.
It was such a visceral experience that I just had to sit with the memories for a few days before I could even think about picking up another book. When I did, I found myself zoning out every so few paragraphs, then giving up after a couple of pages or chapters. I just could not stop thinking about Brenna and Grace and everything they and the other characters went through.
This story is utterly devastating and breathtakingly beautiful all at once.
This story will pull you in and leave you reeling.

It’s impossible to put into words how these written words affected me. This is a true love story between two very wounded women. This book is profoundly meaningful, mentally taxing, and emotionally exhausting. One of the best series I’ve ever read. The writing is absolutely outstanding.
This is a gripping, intense, riveting, well written and absolutely brilliant book which I really loved and couldn’t put down!

These women are layered, real people. And the novel’s action fuels growth and change in them.
I found the story to be heart pumping and heart grabbing. I felt compelled to find out what was coming next. But underneath the drama is a completely thoughtful and soul searching story. I found myself highlighting passages I found compelling and worth reflecting on.
I could not put this novel down!

This is an emotionally raw and at times brutal read. It is war at its basest level yet it is the exquisite writing that keeps me reading. The evocative descriptions of the war torn region and its inhabitants create a gripping virtual reality. In the middle of the surrounding death and destruction lies the unexpected beginnings of a love story.
Patricia Spencer certainly knows how to weave a story to keep you turning the pages!

For three days, which seemed like much longer, the brutality of war and disregard for citizens were shown through the lens of the camera. Contrasting that, you also see the gentle insights into gentleness and hope.
Stunning Read. Loved this story.
