Welcome to Litsy!

I created a special cubby on my bookshelf filled with some of my nephew‘s books. Some were in his backpack when he died, others were ones we had bought together or I had gifted him. The framed item is his Ex Libris stamp. The flowers from one of the funeral bouquets we were sent. It‘s a sweet way to be reminded of him every day since we connected so deeply over what we were reading.

My father was in WWII. He was in a communications unit attached to the 3rd division. His stories were interesting. I read this book in the 80s. It makes me wonder how kids would fair if we had another World War and a draft. I hope we never find out.

4 ⭐️Mom and I have endured some real duds in our recent buddy-read selections, so when we spun the wheel of our books we kept our fingers crossed that it would land, at last, on something we could truly enjoy.
It worked! A heartfelt, heartwarming account of one small town‘s efforts to bring big joy to hundreds of thousands of servicemen/women in WWII. Even with war as the background, this book was sweet, and a welcome reminder of human kindness.
