Publisher's Summary:
The year is 1944, and World War 2 has raged on for five long years. Tens of thousands of allied soldiers are poised on the shores of the English Channel preparing to take back France from Hitler and the Nazis.
This is the true story of average-Joe American soldiers. They came from the cities, and they came from the towns and the farms. They worked in factories and in fields, they drove trucks and they drove tractors. They were bankers and bakers and clerks and mechanics.
Most of them were just boys, just the boy next door. The war made boys into men and men into heroes.
Now just days before D-Day, four of these soldiers stand in the crossroads of history. These friends face their destiny ahead of them and must leave their hopes and dreams behind.
Live the story through the eyes of the characters in this powerful and emotional audiobook that will pull you in and give you a connection to the past.
Some stories are cut short by the horrors of war, and some amazing stories of life and love should have never happened. A brief moment in time can change everything, so you never said goodbye.
These young men and women struggle to find the courage they never knew they had and the future they thought they'd never see.

Like plunging into an Olympic-sized swimming pool on a hot day. Every page fairly glides by like a wave. Hilarious moments in every chapter and that formidable attention to human detail; that which is especially appreciated by a prior military member. It's everything a novel should be in that the focus is on human behavior, customs, habits, morals in the face of almost impossible odds.
Everyone in the book is extremely affable and engaging, it is a story of good men and strong men --how they all coordinate with each other under pressure; what they think and feel about one another. You hate to have to stop turning pages--and when you return to the covers after a break, it is with anticipation.
Loved it from the shockingly sad beginning to the happy fairy tale ending.
A great little story about ordinary people caught up in a world war.
This is a great account of a regular guy's experiences in WWII; not a general or a fighter pilot, just your average enlisted man. It's a great story about him and his friends making their way through training and going overseas and experiencing combat, and for some of them, meeting their future wives.
The story is told by the main characters son and while it's apparent he's not that polished a writer he still does a fine job telling the story. It's interesting and funny and tense and at times heartbreaking. You'll find yourself really liking the characters and being concerned about what happens to them.
We're losing more and more WWII vets everyday, soon there will be none left so it's important to tell their stories now, while some are still here to make sure we get them right. This book tells a great story about average people who were caught up in a huge war and did the best they could to survive it. Definitely worth reading.
Beautifully Written
What a journey this book takes you on. I never wanted it to end. It is truly a story about love, not of war. The story is touching, funny, and poignant. It is almost hard to believe it is a true story. This is a must read for anyone interested in U.S.
