"Another tear jerker. This one was close to home--literally. It is set right here at Fort Lewis and the story reminded me of a friend lost in the war. I probably wouldn't recommend it to my military friends unless they were looking for catharsis and have a box of tissues handy."
— Heather (4 out of 5 stars)

" I love Karen Kingsbury. She did an outstanding job of expressing support for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I found it incredibly sad. It was just difficult reading for me, bringing back such tragic memories of the Vietnam war. "

" 4 1/2 stars<br/><br/>This is such a sweet story that i wish i read in high school. People should read it just so they know what soldiers families and wives go through. Really, it opened my eyes. Warning you might need a kleenex. "

" Good book but oh man did I cry!!!!!!! "

" Not my favorite Kingsbury book. As previous reviewers have mentioned, she spends a LOT of time talking about the war in Iraq, the feelings about it, etc, and precious little time developing the characters. But... it was an okay book, and I might read it again at some point in the future. "
— Stephanie, 3/16/2011 -

— Janice, 12/30/2010 -
" Well, I learned a lesson here...don't read war stories when your husband is deployed. Man, I cried like a baby....through like half the book. But, the story was good, and at least it ended up happy. I was worried there for a bit. "
