I read this book as a teen. I am now 55 yrs old and I still think of it often! So good.

For a short story, this sure leaves a huge impact. It is war time and hard times. So yes this story was sad and heart wrenching. The Characters felt so real. I loved the heroes that stepped up and helped this family. I watched the movie many many years ago and I loved it! I remember Sissy Spacek and how the ending surprised me. This is probably not everyone's cup-a-tea - and I have to warn any reader that there is a very ugly scene because of two ugly bad dudes - and some swearing (although not any F Bombs). No graphic love scenes.

Years after finishing this book I still remember how much I enjoyed the story. Sad, but endearing.

I think they made a movie about this with Sissy Spacek, but I didn't see it. For some reason, I think it would ruin the book for me.

Story about love, war, trust, family and happiness - where you can get it.

Great story and it's told so well. I will always suggest reading a book first but the movie with Sissy Spacek and Eric Roberts is a pretty good adaptation.
