Bunn (Another Homecoming, Bethany, 1997) is a master at family dramas, and this book is a touching example of his work at its finest. Emily Robbins Albright has plans to spend the Christmas holidays with friends when her granddaughter Marissa falls ill. Putting her own plans on hold to stay home with Marissa, Emily is seemingly unconcerned about the child's mysterious illness. Questioned about this by Marissa, Emily relates the story of her traumatic first love affair with a pilot during World War II. In an impulsive act, Emily follows her boyfriend to England, only to discover he isn't as deeply in love as she imagines herself to be. Although the romance doesn't turn out as Emily had hoped, she finds a more lasting love when she helps nurse refugees during a hepatitis outbreak. She also learns what the true meaning of God's love, a lesson she passes on to her granddaughter who, it turns out, is also suffering from hepatitis. Highly recommended.
