After reading another review here, I did expect this book to be a masterpiece of words. I did read the whole thing, but I really dont think I want to read this author again.

Sappy Happinstance, tied up with a bright pink bow, and we all find true happiness, and the real meaning of Christmas. wait there was not any Christmas in this book, but it sure seemed like it was a hallmark Christmas movie. The problem with this story is that it wasnt all that new. I cant say much more or I give away all the secrets the grandma needs to reveal.

But lets look back to WWII, and the Jews are being rounded up, and exterminated. War is horrible. Lives are forever altered, as people make choices. Now in the present, we all get reunited, and find the true meaning of life. Gag! I hate sappy books like that.

But it really might make other readers very happy. or sappy or want to watch the Hallmark channel on TV. There are better WWII fiction books out there.
