Loved the book. Daniel is a very visual writer, whether it is flying a kite in Queens or running around Quebec. Having been to some of the locations in the book, I could see him in the moments. Great story teller. Thank you for sharing some of your moments.

I only knew of them through their heroic exploits. Both were nurses who served on the front lines. Elizabeth, the younger of the two, served in Anzio, […]
