May, 1945. When bells ring out for Victory in Europe, young wife and mother Gwen wonders if her world is about to change.

Six years ago, she married Jack – not out of love, but to keep a secret. On their wedding night, hoping to atone for events in his past, Jack promised he would leave for the war the following day and never return.

But Jack is coming home, unable to keep the promise he so faithfully made, and full of hope that he may at last win a place in Gwen’s life and her heart.

As events of the past return to haunt them, threatening all they hold dear, Jack and Gwen find themselves facing their greatest battle yet.

To win, they will have to stand together and fight as one.

In this sweeping historical story with huge heart, Anita Frank weaves a glorious tale of love and loss, secrets and promises.

Fans of The Things We Cannot Say and The Keeper of Happy Endings will love this utterly heart-breaking novel.

Beautiful story

This was very well written and narrated. It was a story i could not stop listening to.

Very sweet story

Took some time to get into it after reading The Man Who Fell From The Sky, but it definitely got better. Sweet story of romance. Almost irritating how relatable the characters were. I’m pleased overall.

The details of what it was like to farm in the 30s and 40s.

I would have liked another chapter at the end after Gwen realized she loved Jack.

Delightful story

Love Anita Frank’s work. Just discovered her and am excited to read more of her books!

It’s so very good

A true page turner, you won’t want to set it down
The format in which it was laid out was really enjoyable as well
