"Historical fiction as become one of my favorite genres, especially WII books even though they can be so emotional and hard to read. I have a list of all time favorites: The Nightingale (Kristin Hannah), The Flight Girls (Noelle Salazar) and Our Darkest Night (Jennifer Robson) just to name a few. Well now I will be adding The Last One Home to that list!!! ... This book will stay with me for a long time and I'm sure it will end up being one of my top favorites of 2021." 

"Ryan clearly has a passion, devotion and love for the tragic history that faced these characters and countless others like them. No other author could have told such a timeless tale of desperation, love and hope."

"... Let me just say that I am not sure Mrs. Ryan is capable of writing ANYTHING LESS than a 5-star story. Granted, I haven't read ALL of her books and novellas (yet), but her writing style, no matter the genre/sub-genre, is nothing short of Poetic Genius. Time & again, she proves to me that I can LOVE a story outside of my normal type of story-type picks."
