Description
January, 1946. As Britain emerges from the shadow of war, a ship sets sail for America, carrying women who have risked everything for love.
Gracie Rider and Valerie Johnson are among the first GI brides leaving the only lives they have ever known. Bound for America, they share the same courage, but the lives waiting for them couldn't be more different.
Gracie, a young woman from Southampton, follows her heart to a marriage built on passion and promise. But the reality of life in a small Colorado town exposes secrets her husband never shared -- and a hostile mother-in-law who makes it clear she was never wanted. As homesickness and isolation creep in, Gracie must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice to belong...
Elegant and educated Valerie settles into sophisticated New York society, appearing to have everything she dreamed of. But she soon discovers that wealth and privilege offer no protection from jealousy, manipulation and dangerous secrets... especially when an unexpected friendship threatens everything she has built.
Both women struggle to survive marriages forged in wartime and tested in peace. But when the dream of a new life unravels, can Gracie and Valerie find the strength to claim their own happiness, or will the choices they made cost them everything they left behind?
Perfect for readers who love unforgettable love stories of resilience, sacrifice and hope, and for fans of Rosie Clarke, Lizzie Lane, Sheila Riley, Chrissie Walsh, Susanna Bavin or May Ellis.
