Somerset, Kentucky. My home. Or it was. Coming back from Nam was a friggin' shock. No one wanted us there, but no one really wants us back here, either. In their eyes, we're all guilty. Guess I feel the same way about them. I don't belong anywhere. Maybe I never really did.

Except with Mama. For me, meeting Mama was like a dime novel. Fell for her almost the moment I laid eyes on her. Knew she'd be mine after our first kiss. Of course, convincing her took a little time. But it's because of Mama I have a home and people I care about now. I may be a badass soldier, but she's the hardest, coldest warrior I ever met. Yet she has more compassion in her than any ten people I know.

This is the story of how Bones MC was born, and why Mama and me keep to the shadows. Since we met, we've always had each other's backs. No one knows all our secrets, not even those closest to us. Other people have come and gone in our lives, but it's always been me and Mama. This is our story.
