BLURB: August 1939. Roger Miller and Jack O’Brien have been close since childhood. By the time they realize there’s more between them than friendship, Jack is leaving their sleepy Iowa town for college. But they console themselves knowing he’ll be home for Christmas. Right?
It is Christmas before they see each other again, but that Christmas comes six years and a world war later. Aged, beaten, and shaken by combat, they’re not the boys they were back then, but their feelings for each other are stronger than ever.
Neither know the words to say everything they’ve carried since that peacetime summer kiss, though. Even as they stand in the same room, there’s a thousand miles between them.
But maybe that’s some distance the little angel in Roger’s rucksack can cross.
My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. Yet another book that packed in a lot in very few pages. I really liked how the author gave the reader insight into how much the war changed these guys, and how some things from their boyhood don't change at all. I really like the way all these different authors have incorporated the angel into their stories and yet kept each one as individual as the authors themselves. It's made for some very enjoyable hours and I am almost reluctant to read the last one as that will mean it will all be over. *heaves sigh* guess I'll just have to read them all again i nthe future :D
