The Brave and the LonelyRobert VaughanPieces make a wholeA family is made out of individuals with different wants, needs and with their own thoughts on the family’s shared events and dramas.  What I found most interesting about Mr. Vaughan’s novel, The Brave and the Lonely, was how he let us take a peek into how each member of the Holt family handled the madness of World War II.The book begins before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.  I love how Mr. Vaughn allows his characters to be flawed individuals.I really wanted there to be a happy-ever-after for all of the Holt family, but as in the real world, happy-ever-after is just an illusion.The Brave and the Lonely is a wonderful peek into how a real family handles life and an interesting look into the hardships and losses of World War II.
