Kate Goodfellow is a fiery redhead with a passion for life
and photography. Ever since she can remember, Kate has
longed for adventures and "adventuring" of any sort, always
seeking to broaden her horizons and live life to the
fullest. Now she's on perhaps the ultimate adventure, a
bombing run that leaves her floating about helplessly with
others in a lifeboat during World War II. With little hope
of survival, she finds herself reminiscing about her life
and loves leading up to now.
Living a childhood filled with discovery, adventure and no
real boundaries, Kate has no preconceived notions as to a
woman's place in the world and goes for her dreams with
liberating gusto. No dream is out of reach, no goal too
vast, as she goes through the roaring 20s into the
depression, not caring that it's supposed to be a man's
world. Kate loves with as much gusto as she lives, never
looking back with regret on either her first marriage to
her first love, or her second marriage to best selling
author Hopper Delaney. In fact, most of the men whose lives
she's touched worship her in one form or another. Her
fearlessness and tenacity give her photos depth and vision
that rival those of any of the established male
photographers, and she realizes that no matter what the
outcome of her latest adventure, she can truly say she's "a
woman of the world."
Once in a while, a book comes along that defines an era and
captures the reader's heart, mind and soul. A romance in
the truest sense of the word, Ms. Henderson uses words the
way her heroine uses film, lighting and setting. Capturing
the world of the 20s, 30s, and 40s, it's a beautiful,
poignant story showcasing a vivacious and free woman. Kate
is like the Scarlett O'Hara of the 20th century, who knows
how to make happen what she wants to happen. This free
spirit, and her story, is simply inspirational and this
book could very well become a classic in years to come.
Highly recommended for those who understand romance is not
just about love between people, but love of words and
adventure, as well.
As famous for her startling photographs as for her stunning
beauty and ironclad will, Kate Goodfellow is determined to
get onto the battlefield, to capture World War II through
her camera lens.
But when a troopship headed for North Africa is torpedoed,
leaving Kate and others stranded on a lifeboat, she is left
looking back on her remarkable adventures and heady love
affairs--and reflecting on her life with the one man she
never stopped loving.
