"Write to me, darling, of home. Of everything of home. I need to find the peace of it and to hear its soft whisper above the din of war. Your loving Thomas"
Doctor Thomas Confrey puts pen to paper while on the battlefields of Europe in the summer of 1918. He has been drafted by his country to fight and to heal amid the devastation of a war that history will show does not end all wars.
His young wife, Clara, writes to him of home, of her everyday experiences and she waits for his return.
In this, the ninth novel by Nanette Kinslow, we come to know the Confreys through their correspondence and the love that endures.
