My husband and I were staying at a fancy canyon inn in Arizona. I spied this book on the shelf. My husband had to pry me out of the building because all I wanted to do was read this book.

Their lives together of ordinary Americans. Not all were happily ever after...

This is a great book for all ages. I'm 22 and I obviously wasn't alive during WWII, but I still find the stories so very touching and romantic. You feel as though you know the individuals personally when you read their stories and you get this warm spot in your chest when everything comes together and works out for them during that time of war.

I was given this book as a Valentine's Day gift by my boyfriend at the dawn of our relationship.

The stories are about soldiers (both male and female) and the love and experiences with love that they shared during...
