I won this book through Goodreads Giveaways.
I wanted to like it, I did. I got through about 120 pages and I just couldn't anymore. I wish the author had left out the current story line and just focused the book on the story line that started in 1948. The boy in the current story line was just unlikeable. The storyline that started in 1948 was much more interesting! But it just moved to slow.
