Behind the Lines has been favorably reviewed by the
prestigious Kirkus Reviews. Referring to the wartime correspondence that
provided the impetus for the writing of this book, the reviewer writes:
“Together, these letters paint a heartfelt picture of the work and worry that
filled the lives of wartime families and the sacrifices they undertook for
those they loved. The author of the review further notes that ”
[this] immersive book will appeal to fans of military memoirs and wartime
literature, and it provides an important reminder that most military personnel
don’t serve in combat roles.” The review concludes that this is “a book
that engagingly shines a light on the lives of a soldier and his loved ones.”
