Awesome details

The book is awesome. Iwondered how you remembered all those details?!! I was impressed with your openness, honesty, details, just the "bringing it altogether" for your lives!! I can only agree/concur with the endorsements on the jacket! What an absolutely tremendous undertaking...

This is a great read!

I was just delighted to read Bittersweet, because I have such regard for Helen, but in a surprisingly short time, I felt I was on intimate terms with the entire family. I hope to meet Neb and their son when I leave this earthly life. I look forward to talking with them about their lives...This joins other stories of "The Greatest Generation," and adds insight to our growing body of knowledge of just what these people involved in the war or on the home front endured. It helps us to know why they had such a positive impact on America. This is a great read. Dorothy Nelson

Great real life - pertinent to war and love yesterday and today

As a young man of nearly 30 I find reading these war letters from the battle front and the letters of a loving wife on the home front extremely powerfull. It gives me a different slant on what real love can be. 800 letters is awesome. How did they do it?
