Book Review: Remembering You


ABOUT THE BOOK
Television producers Ava Ellington cannot refuse her grandfather's last wish-that she accompany him to Europe on a tour of World War II battle sites.  Ava has little interest in historical battles, but this may be her last chance to break down the barriers that have grown up between them, and she sets off, camera in hand, ready to record and report on their journey.  She and Grandpa Jack are greeted in Paris by Paul, her grandpa's best friend, and his grandson Dennis.  The Dennis who just happens to be Ava's first love.

History comes alive as the group travels across Europe-from the romantic sights of Paris to the bleak battlefields of Belgium to the Austrian labor camp these men liberated so many years before-and Ava sees a side of her grandfather she's never known before.  As he shares his memories of those bitter days on the battlefield, she begins to understand how his experiences in the war made him the man he is today.

Throughout the journey, Ava and Dennis are drawn together in ways neither of them expected.  Can their memories of the past lead to a bright new future?

MY THOUGHTS
I LOVED this book, Tricia Goyer has never disappointed me, and this is one of those stories that will stick with you for a long time.  This story is a look back in time and takes you through a journey of the heart.  The characters in this book are so real that you may feel as though you are reading about your own grandfather, the love story is not just between Ava and Dennis, but also of the love between grandchildren and grandparents as well a love between those who are forever bonded by war.

I highly recommend this book, perfect stocking stuffer for the reader on your gift list.
