Publisher Description
Her desperate decision during World War II changed everything. Now, 70 years later, her secret is unraveling.
At ninety years old, Audrey Thorpe still lives in a historic mansion on palm-tree-lined Victory Drive, determined to retain her independence. But when her health begins to fade, her family hires a part-time caregiver, Laurel. The two women seem to bond—until Audrey disappears. Unbeknownst to Laurel, Audrey has harbored a secret for 70 years, since her time as a nurse in the South Pacific during World War II.
As the story moves between the verdant jungles of the war-torn Philippines and the glitter of modern-day Savannah, Georgia, friendships new and old are tested. Along the way, Audrey grapples with one of life's heart-wrenching truths: You can only outrun your secrets for so long.

Learned So Much About WWII Nurses in the Pacific
Beyond amazing book about WWII nurses, their trials and lives afterward. They were an amazingly strong and dedicated group, surviving unimaginable terrors and hardships. But intertwined with that story was the post WWII life of Aubrey Thorpe of Savannah, Georgia, a favorite old Southern city. I would give this book TWENTY stars if I could!
