Hollis Shiloh has been growing on me with each new work. I'm a sucker for books involving war survivors: Shiloh's "Winton's Strays," John C. Houser's "The Door Behind Us," and Mike Enfield's "Off the Old Head of Kinsale" all come to mind. "Yours, Johnny" may not be of the same stature as these books, but I found it well written and intensely moving. I'm not ashamed to admit that I appreciate a story that moves me to tears, and this one did at least a couple of times. Whatever little flaws a story may have, I cherish it if it moves me. This uncomplicated, beautiful story did just that and I'll count it as a favorite.
