About this ebook

Crippled both physically and emotionally by his war injuries, First Lt. Gilbert Ballard struggles to find himself again in civilian life. After breaking his engagement to Annemarie Kendall, he has found solace in the arms of Mary McClarney, a spunky Irish immigrant nurse he met at the Army and Navy Hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Yet Mary's love for Gilbert goes unreturned. If it's not Gilbert's insane jealousy over his former fiancée's new marriage, it's his addiction to pain killers and gambling that thwarts Gil's own happiness. Worse, Gilbert's mother, Evelyn, continually reminds him of what he lost when he pushed Annemarie away. Under Evelyn's critical eye, Mary fights to believe in her worth, wondering if she will ever be enough. As Mary longs for the day when Gilbert will finally let go of the past and learn to love her as she loves him, she realizes that the only way to open Gilbert's heart is to whisper her goodbyes . . . and pray God will bring them back together.

    3/5
    A charming historical romance that illustrates how holding on to regret can cripple a person's future happiness. Gilbert returns home crippled by war injuries-not only physically, but also mentally. He deals with the typical feelings of seeing himself as less of man now that he is crippled. The one person who seems to be able to lift him out of his funk is nurse Mary McClarney. She hopes he will be able to let go of his regret at having ruined his relationship with his former fiance and find the courage to love again. However, she also has her own fears that she will need to overcome before this romance can have a happy ending.This was an enjoyable romance set in the years just after World War II. It has a good message and you could see how the characters grew from the beginning to the end. I'd suggest it to people who enjoy inspirational romances.
