PRAISE FOR YOUR FORGOTTEN SONS:
“An original and inherently interesting read from start to finish, "Your Forgotten Sons" will prove to be an immediate and enduringly appreciated pick.” – Midwest Book Review
“This is the truth. It’s gritty and painful and bittersweet – and true. When you think you’ve read every perspective of WWII, along comes Bud to break your heart.” – Bridgett Siter, Former Military Reporter
“This was a quick, riveting read that really challenged me to think differently about our
servicemen and women, especially those who take on the jobs that don’t get heroically
depicted in the media or news…I really highly recommend this book to anyone that is
looking for a different take on American history. I left it with a newfound appreciation for
the unsung heroes.” – Bekah C NetGalley
“Anne Montgomery writes a strong story and I was hooked from the first page. It had a great concept and I enjoyed that this was inspired by a true story. I was glad to read in the World War 2 elements perfectly and the characters were everything that I was hoping for. It was written perfectly and I was invested in the story. Anne Montgomery has a great writing style and left me wanting to read more.” – NetGalley reviewer Kathryn McLeer
“I've read a lot of World War II fiction and non-fiction but this is the first I've read about the 606 Graves Registry Company. This was a riveting, quick read.” – NetGalley reviewer Lisa Gentry.
