Sweet, sensitive read.Every mother can certainly relate to Tamara Hoffa's heroine. Charlotte Mackenzie, Charlie, is about to lose her son, Evan, to the Army. He wants to skip college and enlist instead.The author brings us up quickly to the type of person, Charlie is. She is a widow who still thinks of her former husband, and who has not had any other man in her life since. Hoffa credits Charlie with being a beautiful read head who is a little on the shy side when it comes to men.The author does a good job getting to the point and developing her characters. Her story is termed a lunchbox romance, meaning that the novella and needs to read quickly.Well, Hoffa's story met my most important criterion. It is gripping enough that you want to push through, and the story provides a sound and gentle read. `Heart of a Soldier' will also leave you with an upbeat and all around good feeling once you've closed the last page, one of the reasons I recommend this book.
