About this audiobook
In 1941, beautiful Irvel Holland is too focused on her secret to take much notice of the war raging overseas. She’s dating Sam but in love with his younger brother, Hank—her longtime best friend—and Irvel has no idea how to break the news. Then the unthinkable happens—Pearl Harbor is attacked. With their lives turned upside down overnight, Sam is drafted and convinces Hank to remain in Indiana, where he and Irvel take up the battle on the home front.
While Sam fights in Europe, an undeniable chemistry builds between Irvel and Hank but neither would dare cross that line. Then, two military leaders pay Irvel a visit at the classroom where she teaches. The men have plans for her, a proposition to join a new spy network. One catch: She can tell no one.
With Irvel caught between two brothers thousands of miles apart, can love find a way, even from the ashes of the greatest heartbreak?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A wild, sincere, and honorable love story. I adore how Kingsbury always intertwines honor and respect between her couples. And love for God always comes first. This thought-provoking, tear-jerker made me reflect on my freedom in America and the joy of life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such great writing about the Greatest Generation’s amazing sacrifice to win against the axis of evil. I was drawn in and felt right there experiencing the feelings and worries of the characters. Narrators were also excellent. Very moving story. Well done!
