From a hidden cache of letters Emma Sweeney has wrought an exquisite book-wise and funny and sad, and almost too moving to bear-- Simon Winchester One of the great love stories of our time. -- Pat Conroy A gem of a book, or an ache of a book really, every bit as amusing as it is moving. -- Stacy Schiff As Always, Jack is a deeply moving tale of a passionate courtship and marriage, told through the letters of a young naval officer who would have gone on to make his name as a writer had he lived. The introductory essay by the couple's daughter is as inspiring as it is perceptive. This is a book that will break your heart and restore your faith in the power of love. -- Ellen Feldman With more than 1.5 million members of the US Armed Forces, it has a ready audience alert to the perils of separation, along with many more sympathetic to that predicament. My search for my father's secret past began when I found some old boxes of his. When I learned Emma Sweeney's story As Always, Jack included a box of secrets about the father that little Emma never met, I opened the book. What I read there opened my heart. -- James Bradley [These are] squadrons of warm and zestful letters [from Jack Sweeney] to his beloved ... a packet of letters wrapped with a pink ribbon; a pink ribbon which you, reader, are about to untie. -- Andrew Carroll
