The Reunion by Dan Walsh

Carareviews; 5 Comments

Watch out…I’m preparing to gush…I’ve long been a fan of Dan Walsh’s books, but The Reunion is absolutely soul-touching. Don’t get this book unless you want to feel…deeply. And honor vets…and friendship…and love. My husband stole this book the day it arrived and couldn’t put it down. He reads widely and has put down one of Dan’s books, but this …

Yesterday our church had a guest speaker…a man who’s headed overseas to minister to Muslims. After spending eight weeks in another country, I have a greater appreciation for what uprooting your family involves. For the strangeness of being a visitor in another land. It’s uncomfortable, zone pushing, and risky. But for us, the rewards were so worth it. Anyway, this …

While she’s trying, she takes a part-time P.I. job with her uncle. In what should be a simple matter of …
