I'm a huge fan of the author, Rene Folsom, and love every book I have read of hers! This book was one of my favorites of hers. The love between the two main characters was truly beautiful and I had tears running down my face by the third page of the book. I love when authors can invoke these strong emotions in a reader!Maximus is deployed, overseas, while his girl, Liberty, is waiting for him to return at home. The only things that get him through his days in war are the thoughts of returning to his love, and the letters he writes her. Although he knows that Liberty is THE ONE, he fears that the year that kept them apart will make her move on from him. Will he come home to Liberty's open arms? Or will he return home with a broken heart?Liberty is madly in love with Maximus, but the year that they are apart worries her. Will he return to her in one piece? Will he still want and love her? With only his letters to comfort her, Liberty hopes that her soldier will come home in once piece, and will still be very much in love with her.Awesome novella! I love the raw emotions between the two characters. I also love the message of the story. Love never goes away, if anything, it intensifies over time. Love always has a way of coming back to you. I love the little twist in the story and wasn't expecting it at all! A very well written and captivating story about a brave soldier, fighting for the people he left behind.I highly recommend this story!!My favorite quotes:"A soldier doesn't fight because he hates what is in front of him. A soldier fights because he loves what he left behind.""Always for liberty.""My sorrow soaking my face, my hands, my shirt...it's all a man can do sometimes in a battle of love and war."
