I read “The Reunion” in just a few hours today because I didn’t want to put it down. As someone who lived through the Vietnam war years, I found so much familiar truth about how our returning soldiers were treated during that time. I have personally known some men who served during that war and some who didn’t come home. Dan Walsh has brought to vivid life the tale of one of the unsung heroes of Vietnam – a man who was broken both in body and spirit by the war and who lost everything that was important to him as a result.<\/p>\n
“The Reunion” is a story that plumbs the depths of human emotions and I believe that only a hardened heart could remain untouched when reading it. I personally cried quite a few tears because I was so touched by the outpouring of love and respect for Aaron Miller. “The Reunion” is a story of love, honor, and the triumph of the human spirit when led by God. It is an uplifting, heart-warming narrative that renews my faith that truly good people who care for others remain in our country.<\/p>\n
I could give more details about the story itself but it is one that just needs to be read to be appreciated. Take my word for it and pick up a copy soon. You won’t be sorry.<\/p>\n
This book was provided for review by ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong> Walsh brilliantly weaves together two stories of men embroiled in turmoil \u2013 Aaron Miller a Vietnam vet who returned from war only to lose everything and of Dave Russo, a writer unable to love again. The Reunion opens with Aaron, 40 years after the war, slowly putting his life back together. Dave uncovers his heroic actions during the war, leading both men to find a second chance in life and love \u2013 if they\u2019re willing to take a risk.<\/p>\n Walsh captures genuine emotion in his writing, and according to RT Book Reviews, he \u201cdemonstrates that, like Nicholas Sparks, men are capable of writing romantic fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n Walsh has mastered telling stories set in separate time periods. The Reunion is a contemporary story with flashbacks to Vietnam. When Walsh was young, he hated history until he discovered a few non-fiction history books that read like page-turning novels. \u201cThey made history come alive,\u201d says Walsh. \u201cReading became a joy. That\u2019s my goal now, to create that same experience for my readers. I hope they get inspired and thoroughly enjoy themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAvailable September 2012 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong> CONTEST:<\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t forget to enter the Reunion book giveaway contest!<\/strong><\/p>\n http:\/\/danwalshbooks.com\/the-<\/a> MY REVIEW: I read “The Reunion” in just a few hours today because I didn’t want to put it down.
