An Amazon Charts and Washington Post best seller

A novel of love, courage, and danger unfolds as World War II’s brightest heroines - the best of friends - take on the front lines.

1944: Fiona Denning has her entire future planned out. She’ll work in city hall, marry her fiancé when he returns from the war, and settle down in the Boston suburbs. But when her fiancé is reported missing after being shot down in Germany, Fiona’s long-held plans are shattered.

Determined to learn her fiancé’s fate, Fiona leaves Boston to volunteer overseas as a Red Cross Clubmobile girl, recruiting her two best friends to come along. There’s the outspoken Viviana, who is more than happy to quit her secretarial job for a taste of adventure. Then there’s Dottie, a shy music teacher whose melodious talents are sure to bring heart and hope to the boys on the front lines.

Chosen for their inner strength and outer charm, the trio isn’t prepared for the daunting challenges of war. But through it all come new friendships and romances, unforeseen dangers, and unexpected dreams. As the three friends begin to understand the real reasons they all came to the front, their courage and camaraderie will see them through some of the best and worst times of their lives.

Absolutely wonderful!

Touching story of three girls from Boston that join the Red Cross Clubmobile girls, a little known piece of the history of WWII. I fell in love with these girls, their love interests and the soldiers they served in the last year of the war in Europe. This talented author weaves you into the story effortlessly, experiencing their initial trepidation turn into a selfless valor as they progress from girls to confident women.

Wonderful Read

This was an absolutely wonderful book to read. I felt it was well researched (it made me want to read real life accounts after) and very well written. Someone else made a comment about every handsome man being described with a military haircut- I specifically listened for that because of the comment and only noticed haircuts described twice. Someone else wrote that they were disappointed the girls didn’t have Boston accents- but I believe because the entire book revolved around these 3 girls and the accents would have been nonstop, someone else would have complained that the accents were too much. I loved how this was performed and written. Absolutely lovely.

will miss the "girls"

so good. going to miss the gals and their story continuing. really absorbing story line

Absolutely Spectacular!

I almost never got around to reading this book even though I kept seeing it around in emails and ads. Thankfully it was included in both Kindle Unlimited and as an audiobook for a plus! I highly suggest this book to anyone interested in historical love stories (I’m a sap for them!) and the performance was spectacularly rendered by the narrator.

This book was amazing! My Mom was an Army nurse i

My Mom was a nurse in WW2...I lost her in 2007..I wish now I would have encouraged her to share more stories of WW2..it must have been such an ordeal for her...I also loved how the men and women felt free to flirt..so refreshing given this day of political correctness and me too movement...
