I liked the premise of the story,of a war hero Alex,who would honor the friend who saved his life, and visit his widow to bring home mementos . But this war worn soldier had a lot of baggage. Alex himself was an orphan raised in foster care and could not forgive himself fort his parents death or for the death of William,who was killed saving his life. Lisa, the widow worked with him,as he worked with Lilly her daughter who wouldn't speak after her daddy died. All this was good and interesting as PTSD is a very real disorder. But Ms. Lane overdid the mental suffering part, and we had to agonize with Alex, over and over again.  The book was too long and I found myself skimming through the middle just to get past the misery and back to the plot. There were several misspelled words so I gave it 3 stars. There was a HEA ending but it took too much time to get there
