Reviews

“In her sophomore scrapbook presentation, Preston displays the left-behind experiences of a 1940s war bride and the result is even more spectacular...The inclusion of three post-scrapbook entries at book’s end is especially resonating. ..an exceptional reading experience.” — Booklist (starred review)
