The author at once paints vivid characters that you must follow. Their journey is one you feel obligated to share in this riveting story.

At age 75, I’ve read thousands of books. Never has a book touched me so deeply as this did. With subtle gradational pull, I was drawn into the story until it was impossible that set aside. The live this story is to ride a roller coaster of emotions. Joy unimaginable, love unparalleled, fear that grips the heart. The reader is transported in a seesaw manner from joyous heights to pain in reading the story that is almost physical. It is a love story. It is a war story. It is a story of patriotism. It is a tragedy. It is a comedy. It is impossible to stop reading.
