About this listen

They watched their sons, their brothers, and their husbands enlist to fight a growing menace across the seas.

And when their nation asked, they answered the call as well …

Virginia longs to find a purpose beyond others' expectations

Helen is driven by a loneliness money can't fulfill

Rosa is desperate to flee her in-laws' rules

Jean hopes to prove herself in a man's world

Under the storm clouds of destruction that threaten America during the early 1940s, this unlikely gathering of women will experience life in sometimes starling new ways as their beliefs are challenged and they struggle toward a new understanding of what love and sacrifice truly mean.

I’ll listened to several audio books based on WWII, From French, English, Amsterdam and now the women in America. An excellent book, take the time to listen to this one

This is my second book I’ve listened to from this author. Love how she draws me into the rich stories full of expression and Christian love. She doesn’t shy away from Christ but rather provides a new insight told through the women’s real life believable stories. This would be in my top 5 and I’m hungry to listen to more.

This story tells the early women’s movement and shows God’s hand in how he brought women’s purposes to the forefront. It also shows how men behave, good & bad. It’s a beautiful story.

War time changes everything. This story brought tears and hope. A great understanding of different personalities and challenges in life. And a desire to continue to live in Gods will, forgive and find peace and comfort in His everlasting love
