About this ebook
They watched their sons, their brothers, and their husbands enlist to fight a growing menace across the seas. And when their nation asked, they answered the call as well. Virginia longs to find a purpose beyond others' expectations. Helen is driven by a loneliness money can't fulfill. Rosa is desperate to flee her in-laws' rules. Jean hopes to prove herself in a man's world. Under the storm clouds of destruction that threaten America during the early 1940s, this unlikely gathering of women will experience life in sometimes startling new ways as their beliefs are challenged and they struggle toward a new understanding of what love and sacrifice truly mean.

Loved this book. It was an interesting read. I like how the women ended up as friends and helped each other get through tough times.

a beautifully written story of the war, not about bombs and killings, but about those left at home who changed in many ways, not only to do their part for the war, but played a significant part in strengthening society.
