A gentle story about love that waits.

When Leia's dad leaves for duty, the house feels different.

The mornings are quieter. The days feel longer. Even brave hearts can feel unsure.

Duke may be small, but he refuses to give up. He offers toys. He offers treats. He even offers his favorite teddy bear.

Slowly, something begins to change.

Through patience, loyalty, and a little courage, two very different dogs discover that missing someone doesn't make you weak - it means you love deeply.

A heartfelt story for military families and for every child who has ever waited for someone to come home.

Van Jaarsveld, Tey: - "Tey is part of a military family and values loyalty, home, and community. Inspired by real moments during deployment, she wrote Duke and Leia to reflect the big feelings that can fill a quiet house - and the quiet strength families discover while they wait. She lives in Georgia with her family and the real Duke and Leia, where loyalty runs deep and sunsets are best enjoyed together."
