Set in WWII England: âAÂ fast-paced family saga that illuminates the life of a war brideâ from the author of Love Changes Everything (Booklist).
Â
England, 1943. After a whirlwind courtship, Helen Woodley married a Guardsman at the age of eighteenâonly to be widowed before she was forty. Though she put on a brave face, Helen could no more reconcile herself to Adamâs death than she could accept the incestuous intrigues and affairs of life in the army.
Â
Now Helen is faced with an unwelcome sense of dÊjà vu. For her impulsive, free-spirited daughter Ruth, eighteen years old herself, has fallen madly in love with a soldier about to be posted to Northern Ireland. And Ruth is desperately anxious to marry him. With a daughter every bit as willful and full of life as she once was, can Helen prevent history from repeating itself?
