This book overlaps and takes off from Annelee's first memoir, War Child. Here, we follow Annelee as she immigrates from Germany to the United States, meets her new in-laws (and lives with them for awhile!), and forges a life and family with her "American Soldier".

Pretty good read, a little slow at times but held my interest enough to want to read echoes of laughter. Although kobo doesn't carry it.
