By Molly Gould
![Dennis and Greer: A Love Story by [Gould, Molly]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51owBM%2BnJkL.jpg)
A true story that encapsulates the horrors of war and the innocence of young love.
Buried in a trunk for fifty years, this long-forgotten tale, told through letters and journals from the war-torn Vietnam era, has been resurrected.
College students, Dennis and Greer, met and felt a spark just before moving to different states. Their witty correspondence through letters conjured a desire to meet again, but Dennis tried to keep his distance; duty is more important than love.
As the two embarked on their journey into adulthood and navigated their relationship against the backdrop of war, they were writing a love story that will span the test of time.
This nonfiction that reads like fiction is perfect for lovers of memoir, historical romance, and historical fiction.

MY REVIEW
Greer met
Dennis at Sunday school one day and it was love at first sight. They dated
some, for a month or so, until Greer moved to California. She wasn’t sure of
Dennis’ feelings for her, but she wrote him a letter anyway. Unbeknownst to
her, he was writing at the same time. From that point on, they keep continuous
correspondence going, all the while falling deeply in love and planning their
future. Even so, there was always a black cloud hovering over them from Dennis’
wanderlust and sense of duty to serve for his country.
This was a love
story told entirely through letters and journal entries. I could feel the depth
of their love with each word written. I’m not a fan of poetry, and even though
there was a good amount included, I didn’t mind because all of it pertained to
what was going through their minds at the time. There was always the anticipation
of what was going to go wrong with the relationship, as we know from the
beginning, and that gave authenticity, as well as fear and expectancy to me. I
thought this was a beautiful story of pure love and am truly honored that it
was shared for everyone to experience.
