Book Review: "Good Night Irene" By Louis Alberto Urrea




 Good Night Irene has brought the goodness home in showcasing not just the power of volunteers (Red Cross during WWII) but the power of prayer, hope, enlightment, love, strength, grit, and determination and that's not just for the men anymore to value.

HELL yeah, this is the book that showcases the job of a 'club mobiler' or in other words the 'donut dolly's or dollies' and yes, the 'darling dot' and the 'handyman.'

Folks, we can write about what is more accurate, the time frame, the characters that you might not of connected with but for me I sure as rain not only connected as a speed reader but fell in love with the magical love affair, the danger, the historical markers that were used to show the time was dire.

To not just sign up for something you have little knowledge about but to do so to help your country is to be applauded and thankfully many did during that time. 
To have good friends during all this chaos and a chance to find and experience love with a pilot no less, is quite the treat. 
However, to showcase that ending in Irene's service -50 years later- was just unforgettable.
