Publisher Description
In 1941, WWII begins for the United States, and life will never be the same for three women as they send their husbands, brothers, and friends off to war.
Ruth, a young wife and teacher, Lilly her teenaged sister-in-law, and Helen, a British war bride, learn to cope with rationing, change, fear, loss, humiliation, and brutality while they forge an impenetrable bond and grow to be stronger than any of them ever dreamed possible. They lean on each other for support, aided by the family and friends who surround them, but when one decides to go to the front lines as part of the American Red Cross Clubmobile program, how can they cope with her absence—and more telegrams reporting loss?
Customer Reviews
Wow!
I loved this book. It explores those who kept the home fires burning during WWII in a small town in upstate New York. The characters are fierce, brave, loving, loyal, generous, and courageous women. The author deftly brings the war to the reader much as the characters would have. This book stayed with me long after I finished it.
