Synopsis

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author James Pratt once again presents a tale that goes straight to the heart and brings tears to the eyes with this emotional novel of love, loss, heartache, and family ties - weaving together World War II and the present day. What ties two brothers together? And what can tear them apart? Lucien and Norman Parker are as close as twin brothers can be. Together with their father, they run a railway station in Warm Springs, OK, during the Depression. But they never expect a woman to come between them: both Lucien and Norman fall in love with the same girl. Lucien marries her, and soon World War II takes both men away from home, to the Pacific. It is there, as prisoners of war, that their bond breaks: one of them dies, and the other makes the agonizing decision that will change his life forever.

Goodreads review by Nan on January 29, 2016

I chose this book because I had just read and enjoyed "The Lighthouse Keeper" by this same author. The two books had exactly the same formula (I guess all his books do) and were both very sweet and very slow moving. As in "Lighthouse," we started with an economic turn down, unexpected opportunity fo......more

Goodreads review by Dawna on June 17, 2024

I was taken in by this book from the very 1st page. It was about life...it was about love...it was about loss...it was about war...it was about God and it was about forgiveness. I love history. I have seen pictures about the death march yet I didn't really understand exactly how this could have happe......more
