As a young girl, Becky is forced to hide from phantom Nazis, subjected to dental procedures without pain medication, and torn from her mother again and again. Growing up in the shadow of her father's PTSD, she wants to know what is wrong, but knows not to ask. Her father won't talk about being a Timberwolf, a unit of specially trained night fighters that went into combat first and experienced a 300 percent casualty rate. He returns home with thirteen medals and becomes a doctor, but is haunted by his past.

Listened to every page... and I didn't want this book to end!

Through an engaging storytelling style... Becky Ellis shines a delicate light on the dark secrets her father kept hidden from the family for decades. Her effort may now provide others with a better understanding of our own families. Thank you to her father for opening up and sharing his own stuggles. For many of us, our fathers never had the opportunity to share their stories.
I wanted to hug her when the book was over. But in the end, i think she finally got the hug she really wanted... from her father. Listening to this book impacted me more than i ever expected.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
