A novel of love, courage, and danger unfolds as World War II’s brightest heroines - the best of friends - take on the front lines.

1944: Fiona Denning has her entire future planned out. She’ll work in city hall, marry her fiancé when he returns from the war, and settle down in the Boston suburbs. But when her fiancé is reported missing after being shot down in Germany, Fiona’s long-held plans are shattered.

Determined to learn her fiancé’s fate, Fiona leaves Boston to volunteer overseas as a Red Cross Clubmobile girl, recruiting her two best friends to come along. There’s the outspoken Viviana, who is more than happy to quit her secretarial job for a taste of adventure.

Great job

I liked how the different perspective of the ww2 was put into this book. Both heartbreaking and joy in rough time. I hope there is another part to see how each finish out there future plans. Was a good read with great characters.

Narrator was excellent!

A Great Story

This was an exciting read. It was definitely a page turner. The story kept me completely engrossed and I found myself becoming one with the Club girls. Lots of twists and turns and I was one of them,living everyday with them.. A great story and a happy ending. What more could you want.

Very Entertaining

A little predictable in parts; however, I was always eager to return to the story. Great narrator.

Great take on WW2!

Such a great read! Definitely neat to hear the war told from a female perspective and they do very good job with details. Totally recommend!

Fantastic!

Great book! I laughed, I cried, I was educated! Thank you! Excellent narration as well! 😊

Great Story

I was not sure I would enjoy this book, but was willing to give it a try. I am glad I did. The story and characters are lovable and well written during a time that isn't the best. It brought the human side of WWII back in the picture. The narrator is also wonderful and is easy to listen to. I will definitely be listening to this title again.

Definitely worth reading!

a feel good story, set during world war two. I enjoyed it. I laughed and cried. Worth reading.

Wait for it

Much better then I had anticipated. It started out a bit slow but once it got rolling it was fine.
It’s a cute story with good narration.
Kind of interesting about the Red Cross girls.
Easy listen. Good book.
