Quite possibly my favorite book ever. A little slow to start and heavy on details, but it was so worth it.

This WWII novel inspired me to continue reading books by Kristin Hannah. The characters were well developed and the graphic descriptions of simple family strife to the horrors of war brought the reader into the story. An exceptional work and testament to how those who feel the call
To help others can make a difference one act at a time.

Just read the great alone. Gripping story of a family moving to Alaska and based on real experience. A page turner , not brilliantly written or nuanced but a fab read

I enjoyed this one better than FireFly Lane. Gave me a better understanding of women's roles in war and the recognition that they did not get for their services.
