While I love WWII stories especially when based on true events, this one took a while to get into..it started out slow and I tried to get to know the characters..Eventually it became interesting when the story was in the June 1944 version. I could not warm up to 2008 timeline and the husband Greg.. and as the end of their story was unfolding I hated that wife became so hardened and how she handleded things especially with the baby and Dad..
