A Missing Peace is an incredible book about the prejudices and miscommunication between cultures. In the opening of this story I was not sure how I would feel about Caleb due to his initial disrespect and stereotyping of Mirriam. I liked Mirriam instantly because of how tough and resilient she is against the outright racial and cultural bigotry that majority of the town has. My dislike of Caleb only deepened when he makes a bet to take Mirriam to prom. However, my opinion changed as their relationship grew and they learned more about each other. Their relationship becomes sweet and the love between them is real. Their shared history is devastating but I was happy that it makes them understand each other a little better and bring down the cultural barriers that the couple had placed. I really loved the ending of the book, although I would have liked to see the families' reactions to the news.Overall: Overall, I enjoyed A Missing Peace a lot. I liked that it makes you think about how soldiers are portrayed and how it is not always the strong and honorable way that they are made out to be. Similarly, I enjoyed the fact that a culture that is widely misinterpreted and seen in a negative way, especially in the media, is shown as a normal society that is not much different than America. I give A Missing Peace 5 stakes(stars) and would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone.*I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.*Full review on [...]
