Summary
:
Feisty Deirdre Brannigan hated the very idea of war in 1914. Newfoundlanders Jack Oakley and Will Parsons thought it a grand adventure. They and their lifelong pals head off to war with visions of glory and a rapid return home. Racked with guilt after a terrible loss, Deirdre joins the war effort as a nurse. Their paths cross as the War’s relentless cruelty bears down. How did it all go so horribly wrong? When the guns fall silent, can Deirdre overcome her lingering guilt through a new life with Jack, himself battered and trying to forge a place for them at the edge of a wounded Empire now at peace? Can shell-shocked Will bear the weight of his family’s expectations back in Newfoundland? Their way forward is fraught with guilt, family intrigue, and ill-advised choices yet tinged with blossoming love and acceptance. Can they move past their shared history of suffering and loss?
