Lists with This Book. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. A slim novella in the form of a wife's journal while her husband is away at war, then missing presumed dead.

Then a cliched storyline that we have seen in numerous war movies, books etc - think Pearl Harbour -Jack returns home. Will it be soon enough though or will Dottie and Doug already said their "I Do's"? Of course, if you have read Finding Emma before this book , then you know how it ends. Nov 18, Melissa rated it really liked it. So read this one second And soon to come is Emma's Secret, which I'm also looking forward to. Nov 18, Shelly Lawson rated it really liked it. War is such an unfair part of life. It affects so many people in so many ways. I feel the book did portray a lot of lives and the outcome war has on those lives.
You can't blame Dottie for her feelings at the end. Happiness for some, but a heartache for another. Feb 13, Angela Holtz rated it really liked it. From Lilac Wolf and Stuff This was a unique experience. It's a very quick read, only a short story. It's written like letters to Jack in journal form. He had given her the journal to write in everyday that he was away. We learn about life during that time, the women left behind Jack's friend couldn't serve in the war, so he was one of the few men around and it fell to him to help the women with the chores their husbands usually took care of.
I don't want to say too much more, I don't want to give it away. I found it a very easy read. It moves faster than a regular story because it's only a woman's nightly journal writing. She has a daughter, and that finds its way in a lot, she has his best friend who has promised to take care of them while Jack is away, and she writes about the other women in their neighborhood.
Jack and Dottie are characters from the novel Finding Emma. This is a interesting look into their past, and it gives some dimension especially to Dottie and even some clues to Mary. Do you need to read Finding Emma first? Nope, in fact I didn't even remember the connection until I wrote this review. It stands alone just find on it's own. Nov 06, Kelly rated it really liked it. Do not read this book unless you have read Finding Emma by Steena Homes first.
It really wouldn't make a whole lot of sense if you just read this novella. Basically this is a short journal written by Dottie to her husband Jack while he was away at war and she was home caring for their daughter, Mary.

It gives the reader more info on Dottie and Jack from when they were much younger and before they were involved in something much later in life Finding Emma. It definitely tells me how much Dottie loved her husband Jack and just some more history between them. I think it would have been helpful if the dates in the journal were given. I am very much looking forward to Emma's Secret coming out in February, ! Jan 04, Blog rated it really liked it. Dear Jack, make me cried I mean Jack, make me cried..

For now, avoid forcing the issue with mere "lists" of works possessing an arbitrary shared characteristic, such as relating to a particular place. Avoid series that cross authors, unless the authors were or became aware of the series identification eg. Also avoid publisher series, unless the publisher has a true monopoly over the "works" in question.
So, the Dummies guides are a series of works. But the Loeb Classical Library is a series of editions, not of works.
