After Words

July 21st, 1941 The journey starts here. I don't know if I'll be able to record everything about it but I'll try. My mother made me promise that I write in this journal as often as possible.The moment Leeza Boychuk reads these words, painstakingly penned in a battered, time-stained diary by a young soldier, she knows her life will change. With a failing business, a philandering ex-husband and an ocean between her and her son, she has her own battles. Yet the infantryman's innocent yet brutal story haunts her.Determined to return the journal to the soldier's family, she enlists the help of Gavin Fletcher, an enigmatic widower. His calm steadfastness is soothing to Leeza's tattered soul-until an unexpected kiss ignites a longing she isn't ready to explore. But Leeza can't abandon her quest...even if it means confronting her feelings for this increasingly intriguing man.
