When Matt Renicker joins the Army, he's determined to give his best for his country and his Lord, even if it means risking everything he loves most. But when tragedy strikes on a routine patrol, more than one heart is left shattered and lamenting.
In the wake of a terrible loss, will those left behind find the strength to go on? Or will the faith, family, and freedom Matt fought to preserve be broken beyond repair?

My Thoughts
In only fifty-one pages, I’ve been to war and back and had my heart ripped from my chest. That's the kind of book Oh, The Fallen is - beautiful and bittersweet in the best way.
If you’ve ever felt pain or grief over the loss of a loved one, if you’ve never understood the purpose of war, if you’re just in the mood for something to tug on your heartstrings, I highly recommend Oh, The Fallen. As the granddaughter of a Vietnam vet, I felt a special connection to this story, and I know that worldwide (not just here in America, you guys), people will be touched by Harris’ novella of sacrifice and love.
Meet the Author
Abigail Kay Harris is a daughter of the King with a personal degree in book-nerdiness. A sister to seven, her passionate love of the written word and deeper meanings hidden in normal things leads her to spend her time reading, writing, using sarcasm, and defining obscure words. When she’s not chasing words, she enjoys watching shows, classic romance movies, tea, sunrises, and the outdoors, especially mountains, beaches, and forests.
Have you ever read a book that broke your heart and mended it all at once? What was it? Do you typically read war stories? Why or why not? What makes a story heartfelt and touching to you? How do you think war is portrayed in fiction these days?
