Jan said More than I anticipated!. I attended a breakfast at my neighbor's house in honor of Jeri F. Board, who is my neighbor's cousin. During this gathering, Jeri read a passage from her book which sparked my interest. She told our group that The Bed She Was Born In was about her family. I purchased the book before leaving and picked it up to read about a week later. I must admit, I'm not a fan of any war-related novels or any books related. Judy Crump said Five Stars. Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful story! Character development was great and descriptions were beautiful.
