About this listen
An Amazon Charts and Washington Post best seller
A novel of love, courage, and danger unfolds as World War II’s brightest heroines - the best of friends - take on the front lines.
1944: Fiona Denning has her entire future planned out. She’ll work in city hall, marry her fiancé when he returns from the war, and settle down in the Boston suburbs. But when her fiancé is reported missing after being shot down in Germany, Fiona’s long-held plans are shattered.
Determined to learn her fiancé’s fate, Fiona leaves Boston to volunteer overseas as a Red Cross Clubmobile girl, recruiting her two best friends to come along. There’s the outspoken Viviana, who is more than happy to quit her secretarial job for a taste of adventure. Then there’s Dottie, a shy music teacher whose melodious talents are sure to bring heart and hope to the boys on the front lines.
Chosen for their inner strength and outer charm, the trio isn’t prepared for the daunting challenges of war. But through it all come new friendships and romances, unforeseen dangers, and unexpected dreams. As the three friends begin to understand the real reasons they all came to the front, their courage and camaraderie will see them through some of the best and worst times of their lives.

BEST BOOK I'VE READ IN YEARS
I liked this story so much I didn't want it to end. It has everything, excitement, romance, fun, tension , poignancy and sadness. It also shows the futility of war. The strength of Character and warmth of the main characters and their strong friendships shone through. We need stories like this at the moment to give us hope. The narration was brilliant and very easy to listen to.

Great read. Tears and laughter in equal measure.
I really enjoyed this book and experienced every emotion going. I was transported back in time and enjoyed learning about the work of the Red Cross through the main characters experiences.
