A reluctant war hero returns home and encounters a new chance at love. No sooner has Shawn Collins returned home from the fighting in Europe than he is called upon to serve his country in another way—as a speaker on the war bond tour. While other men might jump at the chance to travel around the country with attractive Hollywood starlets, Shawn just wants to stay home with his son Patrick and his aging father, and grieve the loss of his wife in private. When Shawn asks Katherine Townsend to be Patrick's nanny while he's on the road, he has no idea how this decision will impact his life. Could it be the key to his future happiness and the mending of his heart? Or will the war once again threaten his chances for a new start? Dan Walsh does not disappoint in this tender story of family ties and the healing of a broken heart.

      Starred review from November 1, 2010

      Walsh's (The Unfinished Gift) wholesome and heartwarming tale of love, loss, and the Lord carries listeners back to World War II American life. Humble war hero Shawn Collins is given the chance to escape the war and go on a war bond tour, but all he really wants is the opportunity to reconnect with his son and long-estranged father after the untimely death of his wife. Will our hero let love heal his wounds? Actor/voice artist Roger Mueller narrates with flair and makes good use of accents. This title is a treasure for anyone who has ever looked at an old photograph and wondered if the eyes looking back experienced the same types of feelings we experience today.--Scott R. DiMarco, Mansfield Univ. of Pennsylvania Lib.
