American women—American wives—have been mostly minor characters in the literature of the Vietnam War, but in Absolution they take center stage. Tricia is a shy newlywed, married to a rising attorney on loan to navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a beauty and a bully. In Saigon in 1963, the two women form a wary alliance as they balance the era’s mandate to be “helpmeets” to their ambitious husbands with their own, inchoate impulse to “do good” for the people of Vietnam.

Resumen del Editor
How far would you go? How much would you risk?
Hailey MacIntyre seems conjured from the depths of Samuel Fiddes’s loneliness. Caring for his young sister in the tenements of Glasgow, Scotland, Samuel has known only hunger, while Hailey has never known want. Yet, when Samuel saves Hailey’s brother from a runaway carriage, their connection is undeniable.
Through secret meetings and stolen moments, their improbable love grows. But then the City of Glasgow Bank fails, and Hailey’s bankrupt father impulsively moves their family across the globe to Seattle, a city rumored to have coal in its hills and easy money for anyone willing to work for it.
Samuel is haunted by Hailey’s parting words: Remember, Washington Territory. Armed only with his wits, he determines to follow her, leaving behind everything he has ever known in search of Hailey and the chance of a better life for his sister. But the fledgling town barely cut out of the wilderness holds its own secrets and will test them all in ways unimaginable.
Poignant and lyrical, A Wild and Heavenly Place is an ode to the Pacific Northwest, to those courageous enough to chase the American Dream, and to a love so powerful it endures beyond distance, beyond hope.

Evangeline Hussey has made a home for herself on Nantucket, though she knows she is still an outsider to the island's small close-knit community, one that by 1849 has started to feel the decline of a once-thriving whaling industry. Her husband, Hosea, and the life they built together, was once all she needed—but now Hosea is gone, lost at sea. Evangeline is only able to hold on to his inn, and her place on the island, by employing a curious gift to glimpse and re-form the recent memories of those who would cast her out.

Scotland!!
If you know me, you know I love a story with Scotland. And this book is no different! While only 1/3 of the book takes place there, I just knew I was going to love it.
I was very invested in the characters in this story and had to stay up past my bedtime to see how it was going to end.
“But Samuel always feared he wouldn’t have a true home, because to him, home was always going to be a girl named Hailey.” 😭

Sleepless in WA Territory
As a Seattle native, I was expecting more rich history. I was a bit disappointed as I absolutely love
this beautiful city I live in. However, it was an interesting story of immigrants moving from a far a way land due to hardship to start anew. The devastating way those who moved away makes me sad and brings raw emotions in me due to those who lose their home country. However, they can also lose friends (even lovers) along with family when they move especially in those days. . This is in itself is worthy of exploration as many people left their home lands for America. I am not a person who likes romantic novels so that part, although the center piece of the story was vital, it just did not keep my full interest. I realized that this book was a love story, but would have enjoyed it so much more if more details had surfaced of the lives of our most famous founders here in Seattle! Although, the author did name drop such names as Yesler who was the founder of Seattle! Thanks to the author for sharing also about our shared city. She too is from here & a RN like me. That was why I wanted to read it & for sure, this first time read has encouraged me to look into her other books.
