I listened to this book in the car and I really enjoyed the narrator. I loved the way the author made connections among characters.
From Amazon:
When twelve-year-old Jamie Dexter's brother joins the Army and is sent to Vietnam, Jamie is thrilled. She can't wait to get letters from the front lines describing the excitement of real-life combat. After all, they've both dreamed of following in the footsteps of their father, the Colonel.
But TJ's first letter isn't a letter at all. It's a roll of undeveloped film, the first of many. What Jamie sees when she develops TJ's photographs reveals a whole new side of the war. Slowly the shine begins to fade off of Army life - and the Colonel. How can someone she's worshipped her entire life be just as helpless to save her brother as she is?
Happy reading! If you read Shooting the Moon, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)
