The One True Love of
Alice-Ann – Eva Marie Everson
First of
all I have loved every book I have read by Eva Marie Everson. Like I hate for them to end because I just
love the story. I “read” (listened to on
my Kindle) this book on a car trip. It
kept me entranced for 4 hours of the trip to see my son, and about 6 hours on
the trip home.
I grew up
in Georgia well past the years of WWII.
However, my dad served in WWII; my mom was a child at that point. I felt like this story represented Georgia
and WWII history well. ANOTHER REASON I
LOVED THIS BOOK!
This is
obviously the story of Alice-Ann who turns 16 on the day Pearl Harbor was
bombed. She has loved Mack (a friend of
her brothers) for years, and declares this love shortly after she turned
16. Mack goes off to war and they keep
in touch with letters. She was also
wrote to another one of her brother’s friends, Carlton. Carlton happens to be her best friend’s
brother.
During the
war she grows up some, graduates from high school, and gets a job. Alice-Ann is a hard-working kind-hearted person. She helps out at home and in her
community.
WWII doesn’t
end as quickly as expected; the story follows the whole war. I can’t – WON’T – give you any more details!
Historically
this is a great book. The story just
sucked me in…which helped with the long car ride.
READ THIS
BOOK!
I was given this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
