About the Book
Everything lost can be found. Aaron Miller knows a thing or two about loss. He's lost love. Dignity. Second, and even third, chances. Once honored for his heroism, he now lives in near obscurity, working as a handyman in a humble trailer park.

But God is a master at finding and redeeming the lost things of life. Unbeknownst to Aaron, someone is searching for him.

With deep insight into the human heart, consummate storyteller Dan Walsh gently weaves a tale of a life spent in the shadows but meant for the light. Through tense scenes of war and tender moments of romance, The Reunion will make you believe that everyone can get a second chance at life and love.

My Thoughts
I'm not sure how I've missed out on Dan Walsh until recently. After reading The Discovery earlier in the year, I jumped at the chance to review The Reunion. Dan Walsh is an absolute master at taking bits and pieces of stories and weaving them together into a powerful novel that leaves you emotionally drained and uplifted at the same time.

The Reunion was a powerful tribute to our Vietnam veterans. I didn't realize the extent to which these heroes were mistreated upon returning home, and the novel was quite eye-opening on that level. Walsh did a wonderful job creating characters that pulled me into the story and wrapped me up in the drama. At one point (very late in the night, I might add!), I had to stop reading to go in search of tissues as I was doing a full-on ugly cry, complete with hiccuping sobs. Let me just say it's been a long time since a book has affected me so deeply. This is a must-read! [5 stars]

I received a free copy of this book from Revell in exchange for my fair and honest review.

Available September 2012 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.
