Magnificent read!
Schmitz pens a magnificent story in The Road Remembered, I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. This author brings the story to life, the life of her late father. Schmitz writes, "So there we were, the day of the trip, preparing to fly overseas to attend the seventieth anniversary celebration of V-E Day—the end of World War II in Europe. We’d join several of his former Army buddies from K Company in the 353rd Regiment of the 89th Infantry Division at Le Havre, France, where the former soldiers first touched the European mainland on their way to join the war," and then he told her the story. What an amazing and intriguing, yet fearing the battles, the story shows that determination, loyalty to one's country, and the secret of not showing the story. Simply awe-inspiring. Very impressive story telling. The Road Remembered is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.
