Publisher's summary

From best-selling author Soraya Lane comes a story of friendship, love, and heartbreak at the end of World War II.

1945: Along with hundreds of other war brides, Betty, Madeline, Alice, and June set sail for New York to be with the men they love.

In the days they spend at sea, the four young women become firm friends and vow to stay in touch no matter what their new lives bring.

Life in a new country comes with many challenges, but Betty, Madeline, Alice, and June didn't move half way across the world to give up without a fight. As their love is tested, the one thing they can count on is the friendship they forged while crossing the Atlantic.

Good book, Glad I listened to it!

The narration was good, but I really prefer audio books that have more than One person reading it. I usually choose books that have a female reading her part, and a male reading his.

an easy listen

I liked the story. It was an easy listen with characters I liked. However, it would be far better with more length -- more time to develop each woman's story. It felt rushed and I found myself longing for more.

This is unique love story. It does a good job of telling about the different directions marriages can take. I recommended this novel to those engaged and newly weds.

A Story of Love and Sacrifice.

Four women leave England to join their husbands whom the married during WWII. The story of the voyage and the strength that it require to forsake their families and their communities is so mesmerizing that I couldn’t stop listening until forced to sleep. The performance and words were so wonderfully written and voiced that I will probably rerun and listen again.

Perspective on an oft forgotten consequence of WWII

Most of the main characters were likeable and well developed. Loved the back stories of each of the 4 girls.

An easy and interesting listen
