May I please address you as Darrell? Darrell, even-though we have never met, after reading your book, it feels as if you and I are old friends. Your book was very special to me, because I personally have lived a great portion of your writings. As I read, the events in your novel became as real to me as real life. As I grew-up with the Kid and the Little Girl, I laughed as they did and cried when grief entered their lives. I laughed, cried, and loved, as if I was a living character in your book. Good luck Darrell, I will recommend your book to all my friends.

Hello, my full name is not important, but what I must say concerning your book is. I‘m a single mother and I’m raising two children by myself, because my husband was killed in action after he enlisted in the Army in 2001. He enlisted after witnessing the terror attack on Sept. 11, 2001, and I didn’t want him to go, but he insisted. So, I guess that gives me the right to speak my mind.
After putting my children to bed at night, I know loneliness first hand in a lonely bedroom as I cry and ask, “Why God, why? How could You let something so terrible happen to me and my children?”
While reading page 146 in your book and hearing the Little Girl ask the young nameless boy this question, “How can God permit these mean and evil people to kill thousands of innocent men, women, and children who they don’t even know?”
Somehow, the young nameless boy’s simple words spoke to my heart, and answered a very complex question that has been burning in my head since the death of my husband and the nightmare funeral that changed my life.
Thank you Mr. Norrod for your deep and honest writing that answered my question to “God”.

I fell in love with your characters, because you let me, the reader, paint their faces, and give them names. Good luck Mr. Norrod and may the Pastor at the little white church remember you in prayer.

Mr. Norrod, I read your book after a good friend loaned me her copy. Your book is for the world to read! The rest of the world should read your book so they can see what a real American family is really like. Most people in other countries have no idea of the love we Americans share with our families, and the love we have for each other, and for our God and our Country. My mother and father will be the next to read your book.

Sir, as a veteran of the Gulf War, I salute you for your book and your gallant effort to teach the young people in our Country the true meaning of sacrifice. I hate to admit it, but a whole lot of people, young and old in America don’t give a (edit) about our Country’s soldiers and their family’s sacrifices to give them the right to (edit) and moan about the people who give the most! Good luck with your book, and Sir, I am proud to call you, a Great American.
