On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month...
November 11, 1918. After four long, dark years of fighting, the Great War ends at last, and the world is forever changed. For soldiers, loved ones, and survivors the years ahead stretch with new promise, even as their hearts are marked by all those who have been lost.
As families come back together, lovers reunite, and strangers take solace in each other, everyone has a story to tell.
In this moving anthology, nine authors share stories of love, strength, and renewal as hope takes root in a fall of poppies.

The most memorable thing that happened would be surprise gifts in the mail from a special friend. She always knows how to brighten my day when I need it most.
The most memorable thing that happened was during the weekend of Christmas, where I got to spend time with the girls. We all shared a moment of what had made us thankful.
The most memorable thing that happened was when i was taken out for lunch by a friend whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
I don't know that you'd call this memorable but my daughter and her partner were able to move out and get their own apartment--a big achievement in their minds considering how much things cost nowadays. I still get to see my grandson almost everyday when I take care of him while his mother works.

My most memorable thing has been ending this past year as a stay at home Mom. My husband is a pilot, so with his schedule it made more sense for me to stay home. It has been the most difficult job, and I wouldn't change a moment of my time with them....even the sleepless nights!
most memorable thing was going with my daughter on her first plane ride, her first vacation, first time to Florida, and the first time for her to ever see the ocean!!
