I actually just bought the book like a month ago, its a really good book, I really recommend it just be sure to have tissues with you though. I dont think my eyes were once even dry while I read the book lol.

I don't have it - and I won't buy it for awhile...I'm still bitter :lol

I submitted a story and it was considered as a finalist for the book - but they didn't use it :banghead. So in other words, I'm not good enough for their stinky book - I've got this pregnancy aversion to chicken anyway, if I bought the book, it would probably make me yak. :P

I have but am only able to read one story at a time before I'm crying my eyes out. But it is worth the buy.

Oh goodness, it was back in...ummmmm 2003? I don't have it anymore. It was on my old OLD harddrive, but we don't have that computer anymore. It was about Pepper (our dog) and all of the circumstances around when and how we brought him home. (L)

I shared it here, but that was before the board expansion and we were on a different server. Some of the girls might remember it though...some of the really OOOOOOLDIES :giggle

i bought it when DH was still DF and he hadnt even left for BCT yet.. lol...

its very good, i finished it in 2 days, and cried through a lot of it.. i would reccomend it to anyone who is even dating a military man! it may be the best book i have ever read.. puts a lot of light on subjects you may not think about / want to think about..

It was really good, I will try to find my copy, and if I can find it, and someone wants it, I will ship it to you. Once I read a book, I usually don't re-read it. Let me know if you are interested! I do have to find it first though, lol

it is really worth it, it was a book I couldnt put down. I ended up sending it to my mom after I read it so she could read it. I recommend it. there is also a few other books I would recommend like homefires and homefront and a year of absence. they are all really god books

militaryprincess
02-25-2008, 12:51 PM
definitely worth buying. i happened across it at one of the shops at Fort Jackson and bought it when I was down there for DH's BCT graduation. One of the few books I have read cover to cover. I have a problem finishing books but this one is a page turner. i highly recommend it.
