Publisher's summary

In 1942, Evie Farrow is used to life on Ocracoke Island, where every day is the same—until the German U-boats haunting their waters begin to wreak havoc. And when special agent Sterling Bertrand is washed ashore at Evie's inn, her life is turned upside down. While Sterling's injuries keep him inn-bound for weeks, making him even more anxious about the man he's tracking, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Evie, who seems to be hiding secrets of her own.

Decades earlier, in 1914, Englishman Remington Culbreth arrives at the Ocracoke Inn for the summer, but he doesn't count on falling in love with Louisa Adair, the innkeeper's daughter. When war breaks out in Europe, and their relationship is put in jeopardy, will their love survive?

As Evie and Sterling work to track down an elusive German agent, they unravel mysteries that go back a generation. The ripples from the Great War are still rocking their lives, and it seems yesterday's tides may sweep them all into danger again today.

Bestselling and award-winning author Roseanna M. White whisks you away to two periods fraught with peril in this sweeping and romantic dual-time tale.

A lot of jumping back and forth

It was a good story but could be confusing sometimes with all the jumping back and forth. I found that a little tedious.

Enjoyed this story

I did not like the flip flopping of the years though! That was very distracting as I was constantly looking back. The narrator was good, not great. I will probably reread tis book later.

True Love, Faith and strength!

I really enjoyed this story, especially the way that The Times crossed and came together to build a beautiful legacy through the generations.
It is a story about strong brave women and men That followed their faith. And stay true to their love and family and community In times of war and uncertainty.

One word “Awesome ! “

Love the story line and the connection from the pass and bringing it together for a full circle! In fact it was so good that I bypassed by turn an did realize it for ten minutes 😂 Pilar is also an excellent narrator and her voice is so entertaining & enjoyable to listen too!

Captivating

An incredible story that captivates from the beginning to end. I did not love the narration, but it was an enjoyable listen.

Such a creative way to link past characters together.

This is such a great plot with the time jump and not knowing quite how the characters fit together. I started listening at bedtime and then doing housework- and that was a mistake. I kept getting confused about the time setting and character similarities for me totally mixed up. I had to backtrack several times to finally figure it out. But this was entirely my fault because I wasn’t paying close enough attention and then suddenly realized I didn’t know what was going on. Anyway, once I figured it out, the story was amazing! I would recommend listening to previous series first because some of the characters overlap. It’s not absolutely necessary but helpful.

Roseanna has out done my expectations!

I have enjoyed over a dozen of Roseanna's books and have always loved how each series I have read intertwines with another like beautiful pieces of an elaborate quilt. Usually I have a pretty good sense of where the story is going and can anticipate the characters actions. This story however was much more elaborate. I honestly had anxiety that the book wasn't going to end well. I don't want to give the story away so let's just say wrapped it up well.
My only complaint is for the narrator...they should havebvb to do some field work about characters beforehand 😬 This book brings characters together from 4 different series, but names and accents of the characters where poorly read.

She’s done it again!

Roseanna White is one of my favorite authors, and even then this story exceeded my expectations. The exciting plot unfolded delightfully. Roseanna writes historical fiction in such a way that isn’t too cheesy or fluffy and lets me melt into the feeling of the time. Her characters are complex and intriguing. And I love how she writes about God. Not in a cheesy or cringey way but in a way that’s believable for the characters and that’s simultaneously relatable and inspiring.

Wonderful!

Absolutely wonderful! While it had a slow start, it picked up nicely and I couldn’t stop listening. I truly did not want the story to end.

This book had me on a bed of nails!

Omgosh this book hit me different than the others. I had to get to the end for relief! I’m such a fan of the authors. I’m sad I’m almost finished with her entire catalogue. Keep writing!
