Top
voices in historical fiction deliver an intensely moving collection
of short stories about loss, longing, and hope in the aftermath of
World War I—featuring bestselling authors such as Hazel Gaynor,
Jennifer Robson, Beatriz Williams, and Lauren Willig and edited by
Heather Webb.
A
squadron commander searches for meaning in the tattered photo of a
girl he’s never met…
A
Belgian rebel hides from the world, only to find herself nursing the
enemy…
A
young airman marries a stranger to save her honor—and prays to
survive long enough to love her…The peace treaty signed on November
11, 1918, may herald the end of the Great War but for its survivors,
the smoke is only beginning to clear. Picking up the pieces of
shattered lives will take courage, resilience, and trust.
Within
crumbled city walls and scarred souls, war’s echoes linger. But
when the fighting ceases, renewal begins…and hope takes root in a
fall of poppies.
