Publisher Description

With both the guilty and innocent alike in harm's way, Tyler and Christina must face all their fears . . . or never live to see the future.



America's Heartland, 1946. World War II has ended, and everyone is pursuing peacetime's bright promise with fresh energy and hope. Newly-arrived in a small Wisconsin town, Christina Tucker now dares to chase her long-cherished dreams: put her wartime nursing skills to use and reconnect with country life. But helping a shell-shocked veteran recover soon tests her determination and disturbs town memories best left buried. She has no choice but to turn to her patient's seemingly-irresponsible brother, Tyler Sutter. A restless ex-soldier, Tyler can't believe this pretty ladylike nurse can heal his family. Yet as Christina begins to understand Tyler's own fears, the two grow close, then closer still-as a terrible secret sparks one man's violent, vengeful spree.

"I loved this book. Actually, I listened to it on CD. I have found that a lot of books are very well suited for listening on CD, at least for me. But this one was easy to follow; it was a delightful story. There was nothing spectacular about it, but I enjoyed it."

— Carolyn (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Few authors capture the atmosphere and voices of the heartland during the mid-twentieth century like Garlock. She completes her Tucker family trilogy with a tender, realistic look at small-town America after WWII and what war can do to those who fought and those who waited at home. Crisp prose and simple words cannot hide the powerful underlying lessons of loss, friendship, brotherly love, family ties, and the simple acts of kindness that bind a community.”

    — RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

  • “All the hallmarks of a Garlock historical romance are here, including a feisty heroine, a tortured hero, nicely drawn details of the era, and evil antagonists.”

    — Booklist

  • There is nothing better than Dorothy Garlock at her best.

    — Sandra Brown, New York Times bestselling author

    " An enjoyable story, a variety of characters with human faults, with enough backstory to make them real. At first I was jolted into confusion by Garlock's use of semicolons; but after a while I learned to accept them and move on. "

    " Enjoy many of Dorothy Garlock's books, but not this one. Something about the characters grates and doesn't ring true. Finished the book, but... Hopefully her next book will be better. "

    " This book was a little all over the place for me and I didn't feel like there was enough emphasis on the developing romance. "

    " This book was good but got a bit to violent for my taste since it was supposed to be a romance of sorts... I have liked most of Dorothy Garlocks books that I have read but wasn't so crazy about this one... "

    " A good story set in the aftermath of WWII. Small Midwest town with it's own secrets and surprises that slowly are revealed to a nurse who takes what she thinks will be a quiet job working in a doctor's office. Sinister characters and a little romance. "

    " I liked this. The time period is one I don't often read. The storyline kept me interested, but there were too many villians for one small town. The love triangle made me a bit uncomfortable, but I wanted to know how it was resolved. (A lot of names starting with "C". What was up with that?) "
