From the Heartlands to Battle-Scarred England: A Memoir of Family, Community and World War 2

Minneapolis in the 1920s and 1930s. Virginia Foley navigates the challenges of growing up alongside her sister and loving parents. With the world at her feet, she dreams of adventure beyond the confines of her Midwestern town.

But when World War II breaks out, Virginia's life takes an unexpected turn. Fueled by a deep sense of patriotism, she volunteers with the Red Cross and sails to England, leaving behind everything she knows and loves.

As Virginia adjusts to her new surroundings, she finds herself swept up in the chaos and heartache of war. Amidst devastation and uncertainty, she discovers unexpected friendships and . . . love.

Told with warmth and humor, this captivating and true tale follows Virginia's journey as she grapples with the complexities of love, loss, and fear.

With its rich historical detail and vivid characters, this compelling memoir is a must-read for fans of World War II non-fiction and anyone who has ever longed for a chance to make a difference in the world.
