35-year-old Ava Andrews' dream job is interrupted by an unusual request--fulfill her 84-year-old grandfather's last wish by joining him on a battle site tour of Europe. Ava is sure her boss will refuse her request. But, instead, he gives her a directive of his own--to videotape the tour and send it back as mini-segments for the show she produces.
As if juggling these two things isn't hard enough, Ava is soon surprised again ... twice. First, Ava and Grandpa Jack arrive in Europe, only to discover the tour is cancelled. Unwilling to let down her grandfather or her boss, Ava and Grandpa Jack head out on their own. Then, while they're on their way, the pair soon meet up with Paul, her grandpa's best friend, and his grandson Dennis. The same Dennis who just happens to be Ava's first love.
Before she knows it, Ava and Dennis are swept down memory lane as they visit the sites that are discussed in the history books. And even though Ava's videotaping old soldiers, she can see their youth, their hopes and fears, and their pride in their eyes. Soon Ava learns the trip isn't just for them ... it's for her too--especially for her heart.
Read an Excerpt and Listen to Tricia discuss her Book!
"A wonderfully told tale about the need we all have for peace over the parts of our past we wish we could change--and the amazing truth that often what we wish we could change, God has already redeemed for good." ~ Susan Meissner, award-winning author of A Sound Among the Trees and Lady in Waiting
Ava's job as a producer of the local top news show is stale, along with her non-existent relationship. Her trip with her Grandpa Jack, his best friend, Paul and his grandson, Dennis just might give her new insights into the past and make for a great feature.
Along their historical journey, Ava receives plenty of wise wisdom from her grandpa, wanted or not. She soon learns that there is a lot more to her grandpa than his rough exterior.
You will immediately connect with all the characters and your heart will go out to the Veterans and all the people involved. Their emotional journey will grab and keep you, wishing for more.
The Authors personal visits with friends, historians, and the Veterans in the back of the book will bring understanding along with tears and rounds out the true-to-life story with actual facts.
A Must Read! Lest we never forget the tragedies of the past and the promise of the future.
