Our Girl is a time capsule. Opening it reveals memorabilia and relics of another era, a'' flicker'' in time so unique'' in recorded human'' experience, '' books'' are ''still ''being written, stories still being told, movies made, documentaries aired daily on the History Channel, even a full sixty years past its glory. Artfully combining fictional interactions and dialog with historical facts, interlaced with actual letters written by her grandfather to her grandmother, Christy Bennett builds her story, giving us an opportunity to remember life as it once was, the honor, personal commitment, loyalty, perseverance, devotion, self-discipline and a willingness to self-sacrifice that were the normal, rather than the exceptional, cultural characteristics of the period of time before, during and just after World War II. More importantly, Our Girl is a love story that assures us that true, pure, abiding love can indeed happen to mere mortals, and that otherwise ordinary people are more than capable of accomplishing extraordinary things.
