The Heroes' Welcome: A Novel

Very moving story

I gave this story a five star rating because it hit every high mark for a book, in my opinion. The story grabbed me from the very beginning continuing the first book, My Dear, I Wanted To Tell You. Ms. Young captures vividly the lives of two soldiers and their wives as they cope with their return from the battlefield. PTSD was called "shell shock" in those days and was considered something one could get over with will power. As I read the narration, I thought of all the men who have fought in a war and what it does to the mind and spirit, never mind the body. The story was moving and beautifully written. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good book. Read more
