Sometimes, when I read a book, I'm so moved by it that I'm at a loss for words. This is one of those times. This book hit me hard, in the gut. I loved it, I was moved by it... but I have no idea how to write what I'm feeling right now.
Instead, I'll send you to read Becky's and Betsy's reviews. They pretty much sum up everything I'd like to say.
(Just for the record: because this is a Cybils nominee, I've been asked to make sure y'all know this is my opinion only, and not that of the panel.)

Howdy! You have a Christmas Spirit Award waiting for you at my blog...
This book really hit me too. I was the same age of the main character during the Vietnam War. For people around my age, this war is still hard to talk about. The author does a great job showing this subject.
This is one of the many galleys I have borrowed from the bookstore where I work. I'll have to read it!
