"I was born after World War II, so I was so pleased to read this book. It helped me realize what my parents, aunts, uncles, and my older brother and sister went through during World War II, the hardships they faced, and the close bonds formed during a national emergency. We could use such bonds with one another and acts of kindness today! If you want your heart to be warmed with memories, read this book." Larry Parr December Forty-Four is Jack Dunn's most recent novel.
