Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22
In the summer of 1984, the war in Vietnam came home to Sam Hughes, whose father was killed there before she was born. The soldier-boy in the picture never changed. In a way that made him dependable. But he seemed so innocent. "Astronauts have been to the moon,” she blurted out to the picture. “You missed Watergate. I was in the second grade.” She stared at the picture, squinting her eyes, as if she expected it to come to life. But Dwayne had died with his secrets. Emmett was walking around with his.

I read this book the year it came out. Listening to it again was just as good. However, the actress does not understand Kentucky accent. There’s a different accent for the mountains, the Bluegrass, and the western coal fields. it’s subtle, but it’s real once your ears are tuned to it. It says different as the counties of York, Derbyshire, Cornwall in England.
