1918: At a time when it takes courage to love, hope, or have faith, three young Irish-Americans dare to believe in themselves and in America.
As a Red Cross relief worker, Kathleen O'Doherty offers hope to the wounded and comfort to the dying. Yet, as conditions near the Western Front grow more perilous, her dedication to her work is tested by her love for a man whose duty puts him in constant danger.
Kathleen's cousin, Corporal Sean Sullivan of the American Expeditionary Force, proves his valor during fierce fighting in the trenches near Verdun. Soon, he fears that he will never escape from the brutality he has witnessed and-worse-the violent deeds he has done.
In Colorado, Sean's sister, Maggie, finds herself shunned by neighbors and friends because of her husband's opposition to the war. While juggling the responsibilities of family and home, she struggles to keep her love for her husband alive and to find her own destiny.
Meticulously researched, this second book in the White Winter Trilogy explores how hope is shattered and rekindled, hearts are broken and mended, and faith is lost and found in a world in which nothing is certain.
