The further adventures of the Grim Reaper. This is a collection of short stories that build to a finale to the entire story. / (Reviews)
Bavaria, 1945. Anna Hoffman surrenders to the U.S. Army with her toddler and a uniform that marks her as the enemy. Staff Sergeant Larry Jackson sees only a mother in need. What begins with quiet kindness grows, slowly and honestly, into a love neither the occupation's rules nor two grieving nations are ready for. A tender story of loss, forgiveness, and the language that finally lets two hearts speak the same truth.
Sometimes, love comes to us in the blink of an eye, and leaves just as quickly. And it can be very painful. But the alternative is loneliness and regret over what might have been. So embrace it when it comes to you, and return it in kind. What else is there?
