My Thoughts-
Sara Sundin wrote a remarkable book that shows how a long distance relationship can be kept alive. This was a wonderful love story, and was easy to read. All of the characters were well developed and the historical information was well researched. When Walter was in the B-17, I felt that I was sitting with him and experiencing what he was seeing and feeling. I wanted the story to continue and I look forward to reading the second book in the series A Memory Between Us. Bravo, Ms. Sundin for a job well done!
