Re-Read SEE YA recently....

This is a great book for a veteran, especially if you are blessed with a WWII vet who is still lively and reading -- he might enjoy this one. Here's my recent Goodreads Review:

See YASee YA by Cheryl Kerr

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This beautiful little book is about fathers, daughters and sons, about military families, about balancing the letter of law and moral law. This is a story about love, regret and atonement. It's a mystery and a family saga, a trip through time and space, taking us from the modern day back to World War Two. It's a novel about choices, about being afraid to face the truth -- and about closing a door, for good or ill, and moving on.

It's a story about hope, and the power of love carried past death.

I've already read it several times. If any of these things strikes a chord with you, I highly recommend See Ya. It's lovingly written, and belongs on your shelf. I can't begin to choose a passage to quote -- it's woven like a summer haze, a dream you will wake reluctantly from. Give it a try. I don't think you'll regret the journey.

sometime when you need a topic for writing an article (ie, way down the road!)
...you might consider writing about *how* you go about writing reviews .. because you carefully avoid spoilers, but you provide this wonderful essence/feeling....
