Lane has mastered the craft of relating historical events to a modern audience, all the while telling a story of those who may have lived through it…This pearl is clearly another triumph by Lane, and now one of my go-to book recommendations.

Synopsis

When Grace, April, and Poppy join the US Army Nurse Corps, they see it as little more than an adventure, one made all the better by their first station: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Joined at the hip, idealistic Grace, exuberant Poppy, and brave but haunted April frolic in the sun, attending parties, flirting with the handsome soldiers, and becoming fast friends with seasoned nurse Eva. Like the Hawaiian sun, their future seems warm and bright―until the infamous morning of December 7.

Within just a few horrifying hours, their sparkling hopes turn to black rubble and ash. Now embroiled in a war they never could have imagined, they must decide what truly matters to them and face grief as they never have before. Death may await them―but so do hope and purpose. In the midst of the carnage, can they find happiness and learn to fight not just for their country’s honor but for themselves?

Reviews

It’s gratifying to me to see women, who made a substantial contribution to the war effort, finally find their place in history the way they have long deserved. It’s a gripping story and one that made me want to look back in time and appreciate my own mother’s efforts as a shipyard welder.
Debbie Macomber, author of the Dakota series and the Rose Harbor series
Loved it! 5 stars for this wonderful story of determination, loyalty and friendship!

About the author

Soraya M Lane

As a child, Soraya dreamed of becoming an author, recreating the types of stories she devoured day and night. Fast forward more than a few years, and Soraya is now living her dream. Working as a full-time author, she writes every day around her other job of being a mom to two little boys. Soraya describes being an author as “the best career in the world”, and she hopes to be writing for many years to come.

Soraya loves spending her days thinking up characters for her novels, and her home is a constant source of inspiration. She lives with her husband and two sons on a small farm in New Zealand, surrounded by animals and with an office overlooking a field where their horses graze.

Soraya’s historical women's fiction novels are released under the name Soraya M. Lane & her contemporary women’s fiction and romance novels as Soraya Lane.

Soraya loves hearing from readers. Go to the contact page on her website to send Soraya a message! Or you can follow her on Facebook or Twitter.
