I didn't want it to end!

My husband has been joking with me that when I finish this series I will fall into a deep drepression.....I have never been so hooked on a series of books in all my life! Well, I finished all 5 in just 4 weeks! And I'm not depressed...I'm uplifted! I can't wait to read the next two out called The Hearts of the Children. I know I'll enjoy them just as much.

Great book, great story, great writer

I really loved this book! What a great conclusion to the series. We start where we left off, with the war over, but Alex, Wally and Bobbi still away from home. Wally is finally liberated and on his way home with his friend, Chuck, but when they arrive stateside they find it's a little harder to adjust to being home than they expected. But the one who has the hardest time making the change from army life to civilian life is Alex. As happy as he is to be home with Anna and their baby, he's jumpy and suffers from nightmares. He's also unsure what he wants from the rest of his life. Bobbi is unsure who she wants to marry! Meanwhile, back at home, LaRue goes through some changes and Beverly discovers dating. Bea and Al have some changes to face too.I really loved this book. I have to admit, my knowledge and understanding of WWII is not very strong. But I was really drawn into the stories of this family, and through them, the whole history of the war. I think every major aspect of the war was touched on in some way. I really rejoiced with the whole family when everyone was reunited. Even if you're not LDS, I think you would enjoy this series. But as a Mormon, it was a very enjoyable slice of history I was not that familiar with. Really Great!!

An Excellent End to an Excellent Series

I love this book. Three months ago I was hooked on the first book and kept going until I finished them all. When you find good books such as the "Children of the Promise" series you don't want them to stop coming. So I am sad that this is the last book in the series. But this book is a fitting way to end a wonderful series of well written books.
