This book was an enjoyable albeit teary insight into a love story that was caught up in the tragedy of the Vietnam war. Jami tells the story through many of Dick's heartfelt and honest letters to his wife Brenda. Although the book can get a little slow in the middle, hang it there for an amazing ending. It is truly unbelievable, shocking and terribly sad. Brenda was an extremely courageous woman and her story very remarkable.
