Thanks! Oh, how cool about the author. Ye...Kay, <br /><br />Thanks! Oh, how cool about the author. Yes, I will write to you. It's been long enough since I read the book that I don't remember any lingering questions, but I remember the stories well enough that I should know what she referred to, when I read it.<br /><br />My dad was a WWII and Korean War vet. For some reason, WWII has always fascinated me more than any other war -- probably because of a true story I read about an unusual friendship during WWII in Reader's Digest, when I was a kid. I've got a couple little trinkets my father brought back from the Pacific. Hopefully, I'll have his slides, soon. I want to digitize them if my sister's able to bring them to me.<br /><br />Joy,<br /><br />Keep the tissues handy, when you do! It is so good. Very, very deeply touching.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-16792655366433915392011-07-13T20:07:12.706-05:002011-07-13T20:07:12.706-05:00I haven't gotten to this one yet, but I'm ...I haven't gotten to this one yet, but I'm so looking forward to it.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-49312531261869711522011-07-13T19:14:44.759-05:002011-07-13T19:14:44.759-05:00Forgot to leave my email.

I really...This was a nice review you wrote, Nancy. I really, really liked this book. Read it while I was on vacation in May. It was the Mayor's Book Club pick or one of them for 2011 here in Austin. I wasn't able to see the author, but I wrote her a note after reading the book. My book club discussed it in May and we had a really good talk about it. The author wrote me right back and was so sweet. I told her that there were some stories that we wished she had give us clues as to what happened next. She asked me if I wanted to know about the two I mentioned and then proceeded to share what she thought about them. If you'd like to know that, send me an email and I'll tell you or send you a copy of her email.<br /><br />She's in Amman, Jordan right now as she got to accompany her husband on his latest assignment. He's working with the Jordanian Army and she and her 3-year-old got to come along.<br /><br />Loved the extra stuff about D-Day. My Dad was a WWII vet, but he was stationed in the Pacific.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-86497988346679492672011-07-13T16:33:23.488-05:002011-07-13T16:33:23.488-05:00Why, thank you, CareBear.

I just wrote it and then left the country. LOL That's why it took so long for me to get back to the book! I decided to just start all over, again.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-79413945578624072612011-07-13T14:46:12.230-05:002011-07-13T14:46:12.230-05:00Kathy,
