Women's Fiction Historical
Hawaii, 1944. The Pacific battles of World War II
continue to threaten American soil, and on the home
front, the bonds of friendship and the strength of love
are tested. Violet Iverson and her young daughter, Ella, are piecing
their lives together one year after the disappearance of
her husband. As rumors swirl and questions about his
loyalties surface, Violet believes Ella knows something.
But Ella is stubbornly silent. Something—or someone—has
scared her. And with the island overrun by troops
training for a secret mission, tension and suspicion
between neighbors is rising. Violet bands together with her close friends to get
through the difficult days. To support themselves, they
open a pie stand near the military base, offering the
soldiers a little homemade comfort. Try as she might,
Violet can’t ignore her attraction to the brash marine
who comes to her aid when the women are accused of
spying. Desperate to discover the truth behind what
happened to her husband, while keeping her friends and
daughter safe, Violet is torn by guilt, fear and longing
as she faces losing everything. Again.
