About the book:

35-year-old Ava Andrews’ dream job is interrupted by an unusual request–fulfill her 84-year-old grandfather’s last wish by joining him on a battle site tour of Europe. Ava is sure her boss will refuse her request. But, instead, he gives her a directive of his own–to videotape the tour and send it back as mini-segments for the show she produces.

As if juggling these two things isn’t hard enough, Ava is soon surprised again … twice. First, Ava and Grandpa Jack arrive in Europe, only to discover the tour is cancelled. Unwilling to let down her grandfather or her boss, Ava and Grandpa Jack head out on their own. Then, while they’re on their way, the pair soon meet up with Paul, her grandpa’s best friend, and his grandson Dennis. The same Dennis who just happens to be Ava’s first love.

Before she knows it, Ava and Dennis are swept down memory lane as they visit the sites that are discussed in the history books. And even though Ava’s videotaping old soldiers, she can see their youth, their hopes and fears, and their pride in their eyes. Soon Ava learns the trip isn’t just for them … it’s for her too–especially for her heart.

MY REVIEW:

I really enjoyed reading Remembering You. The story of a woman who travels with her Grandfather and his war buddies on a battle site tour of Europe. Ava hadn’t spent much time with her Grandfather before leaving on this trip. In fact, she only agreed to go so she could gather stories for her tv show.

On the trip, however, she learns many things about her Grandfather that she didn’t know. And in the process, learns more about herself. She also reconnects with an old boyfriend, the grandson of her Grandfathers buddy. Due to their past, they got started off on the wrong foot for the trip, but soon are wrapped up in helping their Grandfathers. They soon start wondering if they can put the past behind them and face the future together.

Remembering You is a very touching story of World War 2 veterans returning to the battlefields they survived. The returning men are very believably portrayed as brave, yet caring men who did the best they could in a very bad situation, war. As they travel from battlefield to battlefield, they struggle with trying to make sure they did the right thing. And then realizing they did. They did do the right thing and see with their own eyes the difference they made in peoples lives.

Remembering You is a fiction book that has family, romance, history and heart warming re-unions.
