"Deeply satisfying . . . Pappano's characters are achingly real and flawed, and readers will commiserate with and root for the couple . . . This deeply moving tale will remind everyone who reads it of the great sacrifices made by those who serve and the families they leave behind." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on A Love to Call Her Own
