This review is from: Hopes and Dreams (Audio Cassette)

I finished reading the book version of "Hopes and Dreams" by Dee Williams and I am sorry that it sat on my bookshelf for so long. Dolly Taylor is a young Rotherhithe resident durning in World War 2, who meet and quickly falls in love with a Amercian soldier after a quick marriage, its two years later that meet again in America, but time and war has changed them.

As with other book by Ms. Williams, the author devieries great characters and story. This book should not be missed.
