“The Reunion” - A Novel By: Dan Walsh | Narrated by: Dick Hill
A MUST READ !!
Oh, my, I was going to listen only for a few minutes, maybe the first couple of chapters… but I could not stop listening until I ran out of recorded narration. Thus it was the middle of the night when I reached the end of this recording. I was glad I was listening to this story because there were times that the tears were flowing to the extent that I would not been able to see the written words. Yes, tears flowed when my heart broke with sadness for so many differing reasons, and tears flowed for the joys recounted within this story. How I managed to never cross paths with this story before is beyond my understanding. I must say if you have never read this audiobook or a print version, you have missed a truly great read… and if you have read this story, maybe it is time to read it once again. Oh, and be sure to read what the author has to say after the story is completed for some very interesting information.. Happy Reading ! ! Happy LISTENING ! !

Homecoming — Another Wonderful Story

Thanks Dan Walsh. Whether it is coming home to a period in time or to a place or to a family scenario, Mr Walsh transports me through his story telling!!

emotional & heartbreakingly beautiful.

Emotional and heartbreaking at times, The Reunion is the story of a Vietnam veteran and how he feels like he’s nothing special. Due to some choices made in his earlier years, Aaron has not seen his kids in decades. As the maintenance man at a Florida trailer park, he pretty much keeps to himself but helps others and reaches out to them without ever realizing how much difference he truly makes.

Dave is a journalist on a mission to write a book on Vietnam war heroes when he finds himself commissioned by a veteran to find a recipient of the Medal of Honor. As he begins his search, he meets Karen, whose dad fought in Vietnam.

The way this story plays out is beautiful, and I hope you’ll give it a try.

Dan Walsh did a fabulous job of weaving this somewhat complex story so beautifully. His characters feel like real people, with real emotions and real problems.

As I listened on Audible, Dick Hill was a great choice for this audio book. I’m always a little hesitant when a male reader records a book that has female characters, but he did an excellent job and I really enjoyed it.

I would classify this book as a southern meal. Maybe mashed potatoes, fried chicken, biscuits, and green beans. Something that reaches your soul.

Loved it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely. I'd recommend it for someone who appreciates the sacrifices of our men and women serving in the military. Not that it's a "military" novel, it is about a group of men who carefully and proudly exhibited comradery.

What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The effects and aftermath of serving in the millitary.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely.

Any additional comments?

As a veteran, I can really identify to the closeness you develop with fellow military members. There are pieces in your mental and emotional psychy that civilians will never get. There were many parts where it brought me to tears and this is an absolute "must-read". If you want to understand the military member in your life, past or present, PLEASE read this.

Great Story

I love getting a book that you just can't put down. The Reunion kept my attention from the very beginning. I especially liked the ended when Dan Walsh discussed the Vietnam Veterans. A must read for all.
