I absolutely loved this book. I downloaded it and stayed up and read it that same night. It moved me to tears several times and ensured that I will look up other books by this author.
It was heartwarming and realistic, especially the soldier's mental difficulties, as well as his physical ones, after returning home from a war zone. The heroine was rightly protective over her daughter and this also made the story so believable.
I would highly recommend this book.







RE: THE SOLDIER'S HOMECOMING by Donna Alward
I read your review, Hullfire, and it is great. This is one of my favourite books, and Donna is one of my favourite authors. Donna is a very real person that is touched by the trials her readers experience.
The book is special to me because I am a U.S. Marine. I've fought in two wars, and 'helped' in many "struggles" the U.S./Allies have had.
Me brothers and I also have had many friends (older than I) that fought in Vietnam, and came back shells of their former selves -- those that lived, that is. Many of those we knew were killed in battle.
I also receive treatment for me mind -- part of which was lost during battle -- I'm not 'retarded', and me mind problems are not recognizable to those that don't know me -- but one question: Where ARE the weapons of mass destruction?

Thank you, both. I continue to be so pleased that this book is touching people as it really touched me as I wrote it.
Cheers,
Donna
