My Review
I found this author through a newsletter and thought I would
give one of her books a read. I have to say she hooked me from the start and
had me flipping though the page like there is no tomorrow. I found this to be a
very emotional, heartbreaking (mine), heartfelt,
sweet military story of a soldier who had been hit with an IED. Cuts run deep
and emotions run high when you finally come home only to see your battle is not
over. War is hard, battles are lost they can be brutal leaving you half
the person you once was. I very much doubt you can read this story and not have
it touch you strongly in some way. This author goes deep with emotions, starting
over, learning to laugh by giving you a very touching short story of the battle
after the war in a wonderful heartwarming romance.
What I really loved about this book was how real it felt, with
characters that feel real. You hardly hear about when they come home broken,
half dead, wishing they were, with no one to stand beside them. The love of
their lives can’t take the broken person who doesn’t feel whole. This author
brings the story of after the war when the soldier comes home and in rehab. The
true battle starts when they take that first step and learn to live again. The
next part I loved is seeing soldiers half broken learning to smile and learning
to live again. Finding that special someone who takes them to the next level,
giving them love, happiness and a reason to get up in the morning. I felt very much invested in this read with a
subject that is dear to my heart. By the time I had finished the read I felt
like the characters were my family as I cheered each of them on to a new and
better life. The author could not have given this book a better title it fits
the story so well.
The author gave a lot of thought in writing this story
giving a lot of attention, feeling to this as she gives you a meaningful read.
It maybe be a short story but she leaves nothing out. It is easy to follow and
will almost bring tears to your eyes. Mark is a disabled vet
who has to come to terms with his disability. He will have to learn to get over
his pain and loss of more than a leg. He
is angry at the world and most likely his self. In comes a lady who wants to
dance who is she kidding he cannot dance he only has one leg. This is their
story of overcoming, loving, supporting, seeing the true person not a
shell. Ava has lost so much to but she
gives of herself to bring a smile to the vets, giving them something to look
forward to each week. Once they overcome the disability to see them shine, come
back to life, know they are important was a pleasure to see. I highly recommend
you pick this or one of this author books up. You are in for a wonderful treat
which will put you in an emotional tail spin but leave you with a smile on your
face.
