The Reunion A Novel Dan Walsh Dick Hill 9781469213934 Books

I just finished reading Dan Walsh's new book THE REUNION that will hit bookshelves in SEPTEMBER 2012. OHMYGOSH! I have happy tears running down my face and a warm feeling in my heart. I never expected the ending to this amazing heart felt story to be what it was! It was off the charts satisfying!! You'll want to mark your calendars and put this one on your reading list for 2012.

I highly recommend it. I just had to tell you that I LOVED reading this book. It touched me deeply!! It had me look at the Vietnam war and the men who fought in that war differently! WOW!!

I’m thankful for the review copy of a book that answers the question, “What does it mean when someone says; God has healed me from the inside out? How can I let God touch the hurts in my heart and be healed?”

Denise says, “You can only live with your heart shut down for so long. Eventually you will fight for your healing or you will die… Some even find God when their lives fall apart!....Sometimes a person has to die in order to really live. ..Hungry for something real?.. (tired of just going through the motions of life and feeling numb inside?) Want to feel alive? Seek whatever helps you rediscover that carefree childlike heart I know is in there somewhere – that is what you should be doing to Feel Alive!”

This is a walk Denise’s characters have gone on and/or just started down the path. I enjoyed this cast so much, they are fun, bold and each have been knocked around by life. Each has a different result and story to tell.

Scarlett Jo is a Pastor’s wife that’s fun and doesn’t care what people think about her. Denise writes, “Scarlett Jo hadn’t simply survived her life. She had learned how to live in spite of it- and not to worry too much about the perceptions of others.”

Scarlett Jo is fun loving, free spirited and an inspirational person! I loved her voice and her outlook on life she says, “Oh, child do you not know about couponing?...I’m feeding a pack of wolves at my house. If I didn’t know how to coupon, my children would have had to eat me by now. But if you ever want to learn how to do it, you just let me know. It is crazy girl! I can go to a store and leave and they’ve paid me money.” (I want to learn – teach me! Teach Me! Grin!)

The characters in this novel welcome you in as family. They’re situations will tug at your heart. What I love about Denise’s books are this, you’ll be having a good time reading then all of a sudden she cleverly interweaves spiritual truths that pierce your heart, make you stop and think. Denise will help you “See lies you believe.” You’ll laugh out loud and get teary eyed in parts of this story, a winning combination.

I really liked Scarlett Jo’s husband too he says, “I watch people. I take in people. And to be honest, I learn a great deal about them by what they don’t say.”

I highly recommend this novel and the non-fiction companion book called Reclaiming your Heart! It’s a win win combination. A book you’ll want to put on your summer reading list. Did I mention I just love the cover of this book too! It’s a keeper!

The Reunion A Novel Dan Walsh Dick Hill 9781469213934 Books Reviews

Emotional and heartbreaking at times, The Reunion is the story of a Vietnam veteran and how he feels like he’s nothing special. Due to some choices made in his earlier years, Aaron has not seen his kids in decades. As the maintenance man at a Florida trailer park, he pretty much keeps to himself but helps others and reaches out to them without ever realizing how much difference he truly makes.

Dave is a journalist on a mission to write a book on Vietnam war heroes when he finds himself commissioned by a veteran to find a recipient of the Medal of Honor. As he begins his search, he meets Karen, whose dad fought in Vietnam.

The way this story plays out is beautiful, and I hope you’ll give it a try.

Dan Walsh did a fabulous job of weaving this somewhat complex story so beautifully. His characters feel like real people, with real emotions and real problems.

As I listened on Audible, Dick Hill was a great choice for this audio book. I’m always a little hesitant when a male reader records a book that has female characters, but he did an excellent job and I really enjoyed it.

I would classify this book as a southern meal. Maybe mashed potatoes, fried chicken, biscuits, and green beans. Something that reaches your soul.
The Reunion is a beautiful book, very well written, and full of heart.

Aaron Miller, a Vietnam vet, is caretaker of Bentley’s Trailer Park and Campground. He gets around on a golf cart, fills people’s propane tanks, and helps out any way he can. His home—if you can call it that—is a garage with sparse furniture.

Heather and her boyfriend live in the trailer on Lot 31. They fight a lot. One day, Aaron finds Heather with her eye swollen shut. Last week, she had a red mark on her face. Aaron helps her get ice on her eye, asks a few questions, and he promises not to let her boyfriend hurt her again. He told his boss lady and moved on to the next job.

He needs to repair the access ramp for Billy, another Vietnam vet, who lost both legs in the War. Aaron got Billy to come to the door and chatted for a while with him, getting to work on the ramp. What Aaron didn’t know was that Billy had the gun loaded and was planning to kill himself that day.

Karen is on a “blind date” with a man who’s handsome and knows it. This isn’t going to work, partially because her date keeps reminding Karen that she’s older than he is. Karen can hardly wait until this one is over. Karen is a real estate agent. She’s smart, beautiful, and single.

Dave is a newspaper journalist who’s writing a book about Vietnam heroes, in honor of his father, who died in the War. He’s a widower and has one son in high school, Jake. On a routine assignment, Dave has the opportunity to do some work for his book. He’s going to Houston, where he’ll be able to interview a prominent veteran.

When Dave interviews John Lansing, he learns of the brave man who saved his life along with two others. Then, Dave begins the search to find him—a real Vietnam hero.

I don’t want to spoil it for you, but the interwoven lives—there are more—and the way the author brings them together make The Reunion the best title. You will laugh, cry, empathize, and you’ll find a slice of your own life somewhere in this lovely tale. As an additional plus, you’ll end up with a renewed appreciation of those who fought and died in Vietnam.
