A quick read but a story that draws you in nonetheless. I felt for all of the characters in this story from Alice to Marilyn to Min-hwan to Joseph and everyone in between. 

War is messy. It leaves people destroyed for years and generations to come. And the ripple effect is never ending. 

A heartfelt story of grief and pain and reaching a point of acceptance.
