Remembering You Review and #Giveaway

35-year-old Ava Andrews' dream job is interrupted by an unusual request--fulfill her 84-year-old grandfather's last wish by joining him on a battle site tour of Europe. Ava is sure her boss will refuse her request. But, instead, he gives her a directive of his own--to videotape the tour and send it back as mini-segments for the show she produces.

As if juggling these two things isn't hard enough, Ava is soon surprised again ... twice. First, Ava and Grandpa Jack arrive in Europe, only to discover the tour is canceled. Unwilling to let down her grandfather or her boss, Ava and Grandpa Jack head out on their own. Then, while they're on their way, the pair soon meet up with Paul, her grandpa's best friend, and his grandson Dennis. The same Dennis who just happens to be Ava's first love.

Before she knows it, Ava and Dennis are swept down memory lane as they visit the sites that are discussed in the history books. And even though Ava's videotaping old soldiers, she can see their youth, their hopes and fears, and their pride in their eyes. Soon Ava learns the trip isn't just for them ... it's for her too--especially for her heart.

My Review:  5/5 stars!  A must read!  I absolutely loved this book!  I recently have been on a bit of a WW II based fiction reading frenzy and it all started with this book.  The main character Ava is so easy to identify with and I felt connected to her straight away.  As Ava goes along on this journey with her grandfather she is able to reconnect with not only him, but her first love.  However, this journey is not just Ava's, it is centered on her grandfather and his war buddies.  Grandpa Jack needs this trip in order to put to rest events that have haunted him in his life and Ava comes to realize that her grandfather and her have really talked about things that are important to him.  This is a great story all about love, faith, forgiveness and hope.
