Summary: Ok, but not great
Review: This is a good collection of novellas. The common theme is WW2 and Christmas. There are 5 sides of serviceman relationships here. First is a story about a returning vet, who has to deal with survivor guilt. Second is a story about a man stranded who thinks that his girl may have found someone else AND a man back home who has somehow never been drafted. Third is the story about the impulsive marriage that leaves a young woman alone to give birth to their child. Lastly is a story about two people who put off getting married until they finally decided the war was too great a risk not to get married. I enjoyed each of the stories, but the relationships were left hanging. You don't really know what happened--did everyone make it back alive? The only story you get some kind of closure on is the first one, and only then because you are able to pick up the clues in other stories. All in all, it's a good book, but I wouldn't buy it---I would borrow it from the library.

Summary: Tidings of Peace
Review: This was one the best I have read!! I dearly love anything that Tracie Peterson writes. I could not put this down until I was finished. I hope she writes about WWII again.
