"This book features two parallel stories. One is the enduring romance and love of the featured character and his wife. The other, the guiding story, deals with the service of Art Bushing in the U.S. Army during and after World War II. Following his graduation from college, Bushing entered the Army and, after basic training, received language training. He was deployed to Europe as an infantryman, as part of Patton's 3rd Army, fighting all the way to Austria. This is an enjoyable book, easy to read. The story pulls the reader along, anxious to find out what will happen next, both in Europe and at home in Tennessee. It is an interesting and informative look at one man's journey through the final years of World War II and after."Michael F. Dilley, Major, U.S. Army (Retired), Military Historian and Author
