About this listen
From the best-selling author of Tides of Honour and Promises to Keep comes a poignant novel about a young couple caught on opposite sides of the Second World War.
In the fall of 1939, Grace Baker’s three brothers, sharp and proud in their uniforms, board Canadian ships headed for a faraway war. Grace stays behind, tending to the homefront and the general store that helps keep her small Nova Scotian community running. The war, everyone says, will be over before it starts. But three years later, the fighting rages on and rumors swirl about “wolf packs” of German U-Boats lurking in the deep waters along the shores of East Jeddore, a stone’s throw from Grace’s window. As the harsh realities of war come closer to home, Grace buries herself in her work at the store.
Then, one day, a handsome stranger ventures into the store. He claims to be a trapper come from away, and as Grace gets to know him, she becomes enamored by his gentle smile and thoughtful ways. But after several weeks, she discovers that Rudi, her mysterious visitor, is not the lonely outsider he appears to be. He is someone else entirely - someone not to be trusted. When a shocking truth about her family forces Grace to question everything she has so strongly believed, she realizes that she and Rudi have more in common than she had thought. And if Grace is to have a chance at love, she must not only choose a side, but take a stand.
Come from Away is a mesmerizing story of love, shifting allegiances, and second chances, set against the tumultuous years of the Second World War.

Heartfelt Wow
A wonderful successor to Tides of Honour. This book is narrated so well, it puts you right in the setting with the characters and the story and pulls on your heartstrings as you go through the tumultous times during WW2. Genevieve excellent artful way of composing the story continues to draw out awareness of the difficulties of the historic events that once happened in our history.

Different and interesting.
This story was very enjoyable! The setting and circumstances were unusual and I liked that. I would have liked the characters to be better defined.

We are all born of the same light
I loved the life lessons learned by the characters in this story…..
To feel compassion and forgiveness during a time filled with fear and loss during the stress of war and destruction. We are indeed a collective of one.
