Hearts Against Odds

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In the summer of 2000, Trevor, a young man from small-town Illinois, dreams of becoming more than his dead-end job and unpaid bills. Determined to build a future that matters, he enlists in the Army as a Cavalry Scout—ready to trade comfort for purpose, and fear for the chance to prove himself. Then he meets Alyssa, a bright, driven girl with plans of her own. What begins as a fleeting summer romance quickly deepens into something neither expected: a love strong enough to challenge the uncertainty of war and the passage of time. As Trevor leaves for Fort Knox, both he and Alyssa must learn what it means to wait, to believe, and to hold on to hope when letters are all they have left. Their journey unfolds across two worlds—the innocence of young love and the harsh reality of military life—woven with moments of tenderness, longing, and unshakable devotion. Set on the eve of a new century and shadowed by the events that will soon change America forever, Hearts Against Odds captures the ache of growing up, the pride of service, and the timeless struggle between duty and desire.
