About this listen

 A wartime train station encounter changes a lifetime... After losing her fiancé in WW1, Margaret Parker settled into a quiet, lonely life as the town librarian in North Platte, NE. After the US enters WW2, Margaret volunteers as the historian for the Servicemen’s Canteen organized by the women of North Platte. When Captain Tom Carver strolls into the Canteen, he’s immediately drawn to Maggie and works hard to woo her, via letters, as he heads off to war. While reluctantly falling in love long-distance, Maggie also opens her heart to the teenaged girl she supervises and the townswomen working beside her, while fearing for the lives of the servicemen and women she meets at the Canteen. When Tom springs a surprise on her, and then winds up MIA, Maggie must come to grips with her fear of another loss. Relying on her new family and friends, she must take a chance on love, if she wants to make a life for herself after the war is over. 20th Century Historical Historical Fiction Heartfelt War

This story tells the little known history of the North Platt Nebraska Canteen for military trains during WWII. It’s a fascinating bit of history told through a touching piece of fiction. While artificial narration isn’t my favorite, it was perfectly fine and didn’t detract from the story.

Incredible history, touching story, and powerful message.
