My Thoughts:

Some books don't grab your attention from the very beginning, but this book definitely does. From the first page I wanted to know more about Ruth, where she came from, and where she was going. Of course knowing that there would be a romance in the novel made it all the more intriguing to find out if it was a soldier, a pilot, a doctor . . . after all Ruth seemed to catch the eye of every man, whether she wanted to or not. As you read this book the author slowly reveals layers of Ruth's story, growing up an orphan, a victim, and a child with so much responsibility and guilt. The character development in this novel was fantastic, and I couldn't put it down. It's a gripping story about how life really is during war times - rations, battles, death, challenges, mistakes and consequences. I would definitely give this book 5 out of 5 stars!
