What it's about (taken from Double Day Book Club)
When war and its tragic aftermath take Josh from Natalie and her children, she begins writing letters from him that she hides for young Anna and Toby to find—notes of comfort and wisdom from heaven. But her eldest child, Anna, isn’t easily fooled. When Anna suddenly reveals that her father has been speaking to her, divulging stories only Josh could know, Natalie’s concern leads her to seek to uncover secrets of her husband’s past.
As Natalie’s search brings her closer to her own parents and reunites her with a long-ago love, she and her children will discover just how much of a hero Josh actually was—and that only by finally revealing the truths they’ve hidden from each other can they find peace, and the promise of a hopeful future.
What I thought...
This book was good...one of the better reads I've had lately (still doesn't compare to The Beach House). Without giving too much away I'll just say that I was disappointed in the ending...it seemed like there was alot of time put into character development thrughout the book, until the end. Some of the characters just seemed to have disappeared with no explination. This book was extremely long and I just expected a better ending with more explination and answers. Overall I'm glad I read it and would reccomend it to others.
I can say that I'm enjoying reading books "with" my sister-in-law. It makes the books so much more interesting when you have someone to talk about it.
