Three wars. Two hearts. One Unforgettable Couple.
A love forged in the army's shadow...
he aspired to stardust;
she fought to be steel.
His service and her secret would take them to the brink.When a young pilot, LT Arthur Lee Shreve*, becomes torn between family and reenlisting after the Great War, he defaults to the army, convinced that good men serve conspicuously 'in the sun'―a path that will lead to the exciting but complex love of his life who will challenge all former beliefs about sex, service, and even love itself...Fans of the Nightingale and The Great Alone by Kristin Hanna will enjoy the emotional depth―love tested by global conflict and history―like The Long Blue Shadow while readers of The Paris Wife by Paula McClain will love the same atmospheric 1920s and tension between identity and partnership. Fans of Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway will echo the same human cost of duty, love, and history-all a good preview for Book II that will ring true with fans of The Women, also by Hanna.
*A relevant true story that validates the age-old paradoxes and dilemmas of milspouses, military families, and people in service. A vivid and immersive account ofthe Golden Age of the US Army during the tumultuous Interwar years underscored by American history that captures an inspiring hero and role model written with historical accuracy by Arthur's granddaughter.Also from
