This author has such a great way of introducing the characters to you and you'll fall in love with them! I was crying both at the beginning of the book and at the end. WARNING: if you have a loved one deployed, wait till they're home safe before reading this book. I can't say enough how moving this book is and how it really makes you think about the love you have or have had in your life and how much you value it! I read this book in just a few short days. I spent too many nights staying up late because I didn't want to put it down!
