When the war finally ended in May 1945, Lieutenant Danny McClain made good on his promise to come back for Anya in Holland. He expected her to put up a fight but instead found her exhausted and utterly broken. Maybe it was unfair, asking her to marry him when she was so vulnerable. But this much he knew: He would spend a lifetime helping to make her whole again.

The war had taken everything from Anya - her family, her friends, her home, her faith. She clung to the walls she'd fortressed around her heart, but what future did she have apart from Danny? At least she wouldn't be alone anymore. Or so she thought. When the American troops demobilize, Danny is sent home, forced to leave Anya behind in England. There she must wait with the other 70,000 war brides for passage to America. As England picks up the pieces of the war's debris in the months that follow, Anya shares a flat with three other war brides in London and rediscovers the healing bond of friendships.

Once again Danny and Anya find themselves oceans apart, their marriage confined to little more than the handwritten pages of their letters while wondering if the shadow of war will ever diminish.

...a bit too saccharin, although I enjoyed it. I was appreciative of the history surrounding war brides.

Maybe...

What a great series- comedy, drama, romance and historical references. I would love to know what actual war brides think of these books.

Love this series!

This is far from the type of book I listen to or read
However I stumbled across it quite by accident i’m glad to say
Good insight on what it was like for some during the war
Characters were life like
The narrator did a really good job and the story was not only realistic but also hopeful it’s always difficult to write a review when you don’t want to give away too much
it’s a good read that’s all I can say and as I usually read historical or fantasy books then what can I say this has a higher rating than I would’ve rated most other books I’ve read
Good job

Good Read

Very enjoyable and I am sure that I will re-read it again. I loved all of the characters and the way the author skillfully wove two countries together from England to America creating a beautiful story.

I enjoyed this book and didn't want it to end . Can't wait to read the third. Definitely enjoyed the book and can't wait to start the third book in this trilogy! 🐘

Good read.

I found The reader's nasal voice for Danny, Joey, and Dad to be quiite unpleasant to listen to.

Great storyline.

I liked the book, but found the whole description of the World Series lengthy and boring. The performance was just ok - it took time to get used to the narrator.

Very wordy

I love learning the history. Well written. The author made the story come to life. Superb narrator

Great sequel

If you like to really learn things while reading historical fiction this is a good choice. Has an inspirational message through characters that are real and flawed like all of us.

Great Continuation!

Very good story, if you’re a love story person. The brilliant Dutch/French resistance essence is just not there as it was in the original. But still, I enjoyed. Thank you!

More of a love story than previous
