This one sounds great – after your review, I have to read it.
My grandfather fought in the Battle of the Bulge, which has given me a huge interest in WW II – and is one of the reasons Band of Brothers is one of my favorite movies/miniseries.

This book sounds wonderful! I also commented on you wonderful book review. (Actually, I keep getting a bad gateway message on it but I will keep trying.)
My grandparents all came from Russia, they were Russian Jews. Though I don’t practice the religion, I got the values that I have today from them and my parents. I also know the value of money. Something they didn’t have. They made sure that we grandchildren would have a better life. I am so thankfuk for them and miss them.
A tragic thing in my family happpened when my Gandpa Dave was dying of lung cancer. I was in nineth grade and my mom and dad told me that he was dying. I started crying and my dad hugged me and cryed with me. I had never shared an emotional moment like that with my dad before and I felt like we really conected for the first time. I never saw him cry again but I felt closer to him and realized who he was, a man, a human with emotions. I’m not sure what I thought before that. Just that he was the one who made the “rules” or something. LOL!

I would love to win this book and read it and pass it on in my reading circle of mom, sis in law, aunts, and cousin. It sounds like a book we would all enjoy reading.
Family history: I come from a long line of strong, hardworking women. Most of the women in my family, grandmother, great aunts, aunts, have all outlived their husbands. Many lost husbands when they still had children at home and have always had to work very hard to support the family. My family is full of great people, who are strong in their faith. They have wonderful work ethics and believe in helping anyone who needs a helping hand. I hope I can live up to the fine example the woman before me have set.
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

This sounds like a very interesting book. Can’t wait to read it.
My grandfather was a Siamese and my grandmother was from China. Although they’re from different races, they still fall in love and married.
This makes who I am today!
(This is the 2nd extra entry for the family history.)
Tragic event #1:
My grandfather was a chain smoker and in the year 2006, he was diagnosed with 4th stage lung cancer. After knowing this terrible fact, we were very sad and worried because we knew that every time we see him could be the last time in our lives. My grandmother was very upset even though she didn’t say anything. After 3 months, he passed away and my grandmother couldn’t take it anymore and went on crying and crying. Luckily, by the help of a pastor and friends from church, she was able to cope the loss. However, neither of us knew that another tragedy was coming…
Tragic event #2:
After six months, something we never expected happened. Our beloved aunt commited suicide in her home. She did this because she was suffering from serious depression as a result of working pressure. She was a Christian, and we never thought she’d do such a thing. My dear grandmother was so shocked that she couldn’t say anything. After that, she remained expressionless. Although she did not express herself, I knew that to her, this was the greatest pain of all. When we humans are in our most heart-broken state, we are expressionless because the pain we bear is more than we can hold.
