Paper Love is the story of a woman who comes across some documents and letters that belonged to her grandfather after his death. She had once found photographs of a woman that her grandfather kept. When she asked about the photographs, her grandmother had told her that the woman in the photographs was her grandfathers true love. Now, the documents and letters she found added fuel to her desire to uncover the whereabouts of this woman, who had stayed behind in Europe when her grandfather fled the Nazis.

This was a very moving journey about self-discovery. I think that anytime you learn more about your family members, their pasts, and their connections, you learn more about yourself. Sometimes, it explains a lot about why people were/are the way they were/are. I know what it is like to make a life with someone who is not the love of your life because that person is no longer around, so this book kind of hit me in a more personal way that I would have thought. I enjoy mysteries and investigations, so this was a real page turner for me. I shouldn't have picked this book for my car book, because it took me a whole week to get through it by only reading it in the pick up line, when I normally could have had this finished in one or two days. I loved the way that this author told her story, and I am glad that I finally got around to reading this book that has been on my shelf for at least two years.
