Patriotic service leads to victories in romance
Relive life on the American Homefront as four women of the WWII era join the workforce and discover romance in surprising ways.
Moonlight Serenade by Rita Gerlach -- 1941, Washington DC -- When Kate St. Clare takes a job at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. to help with the war effort, she is thrown into a romance she never expected.
Only Forver by Lauralee Bliss -- 1943, Springville New York -- When a new enemy threatens their town, Marilyn and Arthur team together to overcome evil with good and learn it's not the outside that counts but the inward working of the heart.
Blue Moon by Johnnie Alexander -- 1943, Oak Ridge, Tennessee -- After humiliating each other, a WOOPs officer and an Army Intelligence agent team up to protect a top secret atomic-bomb facility from sabotage.
Dream a Little Dream by Amanda Barratt -- 1945, Palm Springs, California -- When a widowed nurse and a former film star are reunited at a wartime hospital, can they move beyond their past and into a future together?
My Review:
What a great collection of World War II Homefront stories! Love how each author approached the theme from a different angle. There's definitely something for every reading preference here. From insta-love to friends to more; reunion romance to second chances.
And the settings are just as varied. Different locations and circumstances find each of these heroines contributing to the war effort in unique ways. I really loved the glimpse of the war years from the perspective of those left behind. The sacrifices women made while living with so much uncertainty exemplifies the meaning behind the expression 'grace under fire.' A lesson we could learn from in today's troubled times!
