A story of hidden strength, family secrets, and fierce & unwavering devotion, GWWG is a lovely story about how families handle the curveballs that life throws, and how that can change over time & generations. It really covers a lot of ground in examining what strength looks like in different situations and does a good job of showing that the same approach is not universally applicable. The quirky & stubborn Kopf women are a delight.
I also really enjoy that the reader sounds a lot like Betty White in her Golden Girls days.

Woohoo tackled another book off of my TBR!
This was an interesting read. I loved the characters, and although based on actual historical events, the author manages to make the story around the event quite her own.
I do think the story stalled a bit around halfway through the book but all in all a great story, lots of gumption and great dialogue from the female MC and I loved that. I regret not having picked this up earlier before was an entertaining listen part in thanks to Christina Moore's narration as she was able to give each character a different sound and tone.
