By Sandra Gowing
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of World War I and the subsequent 1920s, this poignant novel tells the story of young love and the challenges that follow.
Philip Boughton, a Michigan native, joins the Army to serve his country and see the world. Just before his deployment, he meets Doris Bowman in Syracuse, NY, and they embark on a whirlwind romance that leads to marriage. As Philip heads off to fight in France, Doris waits patiently at home, both dreaming of a future together. However, upon Philip's return, they must confront the harsh realities of their new lives and the impact of war on their hopes and dreams.
Inspired by a photograph of her grandparents, Doris and Philip, author Sandra Gowing spent eight years researching and crafting this heartfelt narrative, bringing their love story to life.
