Most likely to be underestimated: Lizzy. Because of her quiet nature, people assume she’s a bit of a doormat. In reality, she is taking everything in. Estimating. Turning facts and situations over in her mind. Don’t mess with her – or her family. She’s got claws and she’s not afraid to use them.
Most likely to throw their loved ones under the bus: The Mother. Gabriela Holländer. Shocker, I know. Born a snake. Married a snake. Surrounded herself with conniving people to further her station in life. Get in her way and you won’t feel the knife in your back until its sunk in to the hilt.
Most likely to tell convincing lies: Kate. I mean… come on.
Most likely to play by the rules: Selene. Knowing her own history, she has a need for a life lived with honesty and openness. She knew the effects of her grandmother’s transgressions on her heart. The regrets. She is steady in nature, and never falls off the path.
Most likely to blurt out the secret plan: Willa. Having lived a life with a mother who kept many secrets in her life – Willa would be compelled to share all.
Most likely to eat dessert while the world falls apart around them: Catrin. Having learned from her cold-hearted parents, she wouldn’t waste a good cake or pie just because lives were in turmoil.
Most likely to crack inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times: Emma. She likes to lighten a mood, so I imagine her playful nature would come out in full force when things get dark or sad.
Most likely to adopt the phrase, “Not my circus, not my monkeys”: William. He would’ve heard this phrase thanks to his wife that passed (RIP Olivia) and would’ve adopted it as his own – directing it at his granddaughter mostly.
For fans of Kate Quinn and Beatriz Williams, this sweeping story follows a fearless nurse who must leave love behind when duty calls her back to the front.
Somewhere in the Pacific, 1943. Kate Campbell is a nurse who bravely flies back and forth from the front to rescue wounded soldiers, amid long days, harsh conditions and often dangerous weather. Driven by a deep personal need to help in the war effort, she is conflicted when an injury results in her reassignment to the relative comfort of the English countryside.
Love has never been part of her plan, but despite herself, she falls for an officer with three bullet wounds, startling blue eyes and a wicked sense of humor. For the first time, Kate sees a future far from the horrors of war and hate. But before she can pursue it, a secret from her past calls her to duty, and she'll have to travel back into danger one more time to rescue a part of herself she'd left behind. But will she make it back? And will that future still be waiting for her if she does?
