1917. Halifax, Nova Scotia. As war rages overseas, two women stand on the brink of a moment that will change their lives forever.
Nora Crowell wants more than the life expected of her—a husband, children, and quiet domesticity. Determined to serve in her own way, she becomes a lieutenant in the Canadian Army Nursing Corps. But secrets and simmering tensions threaten to undo everything she’s worked for, and the truth won’t stay buried for long.
Widowed by the war and cast aside by her husband’s cold, aristocratic family, Charlotte Campbell endures a life of quiet humiliation. With no one left to rely on, she clings to the one bright spot in her world: her baby daughter, Aileen, whose future fuels Charlotte’s fragile hope for something better.
When catastrophe strikes Halifax Harbour, nothing will ever be the same. In the aftermath of an unspeakable tragedy, Nora and Charlotte’s paths collide in an unexpected way—binding them together through loss, courage, heartbreak, and the possibility of joy.
“A triumphant, unforgettable tale of sacrifice, hope, and second chances…with a twist that will have readers holding their breath to the very end.” —Renee Ryan
