I've visited him and family several times near Munich, but no one talks about those years. Even his grandchildren know very little, except his sacrifice of losing a leg in the battle, which sent him home; thus undoubtedly saving his life. As one of the many 'good' Germans, was he forced to join the Nazi party, or forced into the Wehrmacht without joining? What was their life like before and after the war? How did the battle change him? Understandably, he wants to keep that door closed, but I've wanted to write his story, adding fictionalized characters.(less)

I got caught up in this story from the beginning. I found the main character of Charlie very well-drawn, multilayered, and relatable. At times I wanted to scream at her, but felt her inner self was buried within her, waiting to evolve into the woman ...more

“...we often mistake love for fireworks - for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still. It's boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm - and constant.”
