I was hoping this would be pure historical fiction, WWII, about an interesting morale building program I hadn't known about: schools adopting ships and making pen pals of the sailors, for the war effort.
Then there was a whole connect to the present, family secrets, flashback plot.. wasn't too fond of that.
