I LOVE this book. I wish I can rate it … Show more Show less. This novella just further added to my excited anticipation for "Emma's Secret. An author who takes her readers on a very involved journey. It's a very quick read, only a short story. It's written like letters to Jack in journal form. He had given her the journal to write in everyday that he was away.

We learn about life during that time, the women left behind Jack's friend couldn't serve in the war, so he was one of the few men around and it fell to him to help the women with the chores their husbands usually took care of. I don't want to say too much more, I don't want to give it away. I found it a very easy read. It moves faster than a regular story because it's only a woman's nightly journal writing. She has a daughter, and that finds its way in a lot, she has his best friend who has promised to take care of them while Jack is away, and she writes about the other women in their neighborhood.

Jack and Dottie are characters from the novel Finding Emma. This is a interesting look into their past, and it gives some dimension especially to Dottie and even some clues to Mary. Do you need to read Finding Emma first? Nope, in fact I didn't even remember the connection until I wrote this review. It stands alone just find on it's own. Nov 06, Kelly rated it really liked it. Do not read this book unless you have read Finding Emma by Steena Homes first.

It really wouldn't make a whole lot of sense if you just read this novella. Basically this is a short journal written by Dottie to her husband Jack while he was away at war and she was home caring for their daughter, Mary. It gives the reader more info on Dottie and Jack from when they were much younger and before they were involved in something much later in life Finding Emma.

It definitely tells me how much Dottie loved her husband Jack and just some more history between them. I think it would have been helpful if the dates in the journal were given. I am very much looking forward to Emma's Secret coming out in February, ! Jan 04, Blog rated it really liked it. Dear Jack, make me cried I mean Jack, make me cried..

What is Kobo Super Points?

This book is part of the Finding Emma series. Feb 13, Angela Holtz rated it really liked it. I enjoyed how the book focused on what its like to have been left behind due to war, in a time when women historically relied on men. I always wanted to write but never dreamed it was something I could do as a career. It also didn't make me like Dottie I didn't like her from the get go in Finding Emma and I still don't think she can justify taking Emma the way she did. Nov 06, Kelly rated it really liked it.

It was just really intriguing to read this short little story. Just ok Did t like this one much, it was very short and almost repeating. I thought it was a full book. Loved this book I read other books in this series and enjoyed them and this one did not disappoint.

See a Problem?

I will read other books by this author. This book is part of the Finding Emma series. I found it insightful to be able to learn more about Dottie as she writes letters to her husband Jack in her diary. It helped me understand much more about how her life was shaped and changed from the courses of events in their lives. It was a great addition to the series.

This is a 47 page book and listed as book 2 in the Finding Emma series. Already read, Finding Emma and Emma's Secret: A Novel] The letters, from a journal written by Dorothy Dottie as given to her by Jack before he left to go into the military war , are the main plot of the book. It gives us insight into her psyche and what might have led to her later kidnapping Emmie.

Series: Finding Emma

Although Dottie is the one who kidnaps Emma, I find myself liking her and her husband Jack very much. She has a kind spirit and willing to open her heart and home to others hurting because of war. Her strength is admirable. Their love for each other is wonderful to behold. I enjoyed this journal and my heart ached for her at times. After two years and not hearing from Jack, she refuses to give up on him and their love, although she'd willingly do what Jack asked of her before he left for war.

The last page to the Journal was good to read. I got more info into the character of Dottie from this journal then reading the other two books. Yes, I would recommend this for others to read.

Nov 30, Tiffany rated it really liked it. Told in journal entries from Dottie to Jack over the period of two years, we finally get a glimpse into their past. Jack has just signed up for the war, leaving Dottie alone to take care of their young daughter, Mary. Although the story is rather short, I loved it. I found it a perfect addition to this series and a very necessary one.

Although Dottie isn't the most likable character in Finding Emma, I think this short back story will truly help readers connect with her and help them understand her actions. That, and it is rather heartbreaking. I honestly felt her pain as she struggled with the choices she had to make while Jack was away. Choices nobody should even have to consider. Finding Emma is an incredible story and I couldn't be happier with how Dear Jack has turned out. I highly recommend picking up both of these stories, but be sure to start with Finding Emma so nothing is given away during Dear Jack.

Jul 16, Stacey Taylor rated it it was ok. Like many other readers of "Finding Emma", I read this book in order to find out background information on Dottie and Jack and of course Dottie's relationship with Doug Jack's friend. I really don't know and I thought the point of this book was to understand why! It also didn't make me like Dottie I didn't like her from the get go in Finding Emma and I still don't think she can justify taking Emma the way she did.

I also would have liked more information on Dottie and Jack's own daughter Mary; what drove her away, what got her addicted to drugs? This novella is a sequel to the wonderful book, Finding Emma. In Finding Emma, Emma has been taken from her family and is living with Dottie and Jack, who she thinks are her grandparents. Dear Jack tells the story of a hard time in the early days of Jack and Dottie's marriage.

Jack has been sent to war, leaving Dottie and their daughter Mary behind. The story is told through a series of letters that Dottie writes to Jack in a journal. Her letters are so full of love, fear, and heartache as she t This novella is a sequel to the wonderful book, Finding Emma. Her letters are so full of love, fear, and heartache as she tries to cope with the absence of her husband. It was so nice to have some insight into Dottie and Jack and the lives they lead before Emma entered their lives.

May 28, Erica rated it it was ok Shelves: Seriously, why didn't the author just somehow include these letters in the "Finding Emma" book? I found it a bit of a waste to me. I did enjoy the letters from Dottie to Jack and thought they gave more perspective into the couple which was barely touched on in the original "Finding Emma" book. What I enjoyed most about the letters was that each letter portrayed a different emotion of how Dottie was dealing with Jack away in the service.
