A Star for Mrs. Blake by April Smith

5.0

I really enjoyed this book set twelve years after World War 1. It was heart breaking to read about the mothers who had lost sons during the war and their pilgrimage to France to see their sons' graves. Friendships developed among this diverse group of women and lifelong bonds were forged. I wasn't aware that our government paid for these "Gold Star Mothers" to take this journey. You could feel their pain. It was haunting to know these men lost their lives in the war to end all wars.....and we know how that went.
