Publisher's Summary
An Amazon Charts and Washington Post best seller
A novel of love, courage, and danger unfolds as World War II’s brightest heroines - the best of friends - take on the front lines.
1944: Fiona Denning has her entire future planned out. She’ll work in city hall, marry her fiancé when he returns from the war, and settle down in the Boston suburbs. But when her fiancé is reported missing after being shot down in Germany, Fiona’s long-held plans are shattered.
Determined to learn her fiancé’s fate, Fiona leaves Boston to volunteer overseas as a Red Cross Clubmobile girl, recruiting her two best friends to come along. There’s the outspoken Viviana, who is more than happy to quit her secretarial job for a taste of adventure. Then there’s Dottie, a shy music teacher whose melodious talents are sure to bring heart and hope to the boys on the front lines.
Chosen for their inner strength and outer charm, the trio isn’t prepared for the daunting challenges of war. But through it all come new friendships and romances, unforeseen dangers, and unexpected dreams. As the three friends begin to understand the real reasons they all came to the front, their courage and camaraderie will see them through some of the best and worst times of their lives.

Easy Listening
I really enjoyed the book, and I like the narrator she did a good job capturing each character in the book. it made for easy listening to and from work even with the book being centered around WW2. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and recommend it to anyone paper or audio.

All over again...
The speaker did such an amazing job, it was at times hard to believe it was only her reading!
I loved that I learned something new about WWII I didn’t know before -namely about the Red Cross Girls. I loved, how the story flowed nicely and I mostly enjoyed all those handsome men and beautiful, mainly flawless women.
Despite being about WWII and some tragedies befalling the main characters, it is meant to be a feel-good story. Towards the end I really, really couldn’t hear her say “All over again” without gritting my teeth. This phrase is said about 100 times too often, seriously!
So, nice entertainment with a cute story in a terrible time with happy endings all around
