What would you do if you opened the mail and found your child’s military draft notice?
In this powerful reading from SAFEKEEPING, author Claudia Hinz introduces us to Tenley Ward at the exact moment her world changes.
Tenley finds a draft letter addressed to her 19-year-old son, Chance. At first, she searches for any possibility that it could be a mistake. Then she sees his lottery number.
It’s low.
That means he could be among the first called to serve.
The scene captures the fear, disbelief, desperation, and protective instinct of a mother realizing that war is no longer something happening far away. It has reached her family.
This moment becomes the catalyst for SAFEKEEPING, Claudia Hinz’s debut novel about motherhood, military service, activism, privilege, family, and the consequences of war
