She’ll be back in a month, they predict. But there’s more to Carolyn than anyone realizes. Though she’s appalled by the conditions in the hospital, she will not admit that her impulsive decision may have been the biggest mistake of her life. Instead, she sets out to prove that humor can heal. To the patients’ amusement, she even resorts to wearing a clothespin on her nose when she empties bedpans, and she sees nothing wrong with dancing in the rain. Clothespin Carolyn, as she’s soon named, is a hit with the soldiers, much to the annoyance of Dwight Hollins, a brilliant physician who the nurses are convinced has never learned to smile. Doesn’t Carolyn understand that war is serious? Someone needs to tell her that, and that someone is Dwight. Carolyn and Dwight’s sparring soon becomes the talk of the hospital - causing the patients to accuse them of being like an old married couple. They’re wrong, of course. “Love” is not a word that applies to them until the day Carolyn impulsively promises that she and Dwight will dance on Christmas Day to entertain the patients. Though it’s the last thing either of them intends, soon they’re learning much more than the latest dance steps.

She’s already lost her husband to what the politicians are calling The War to End All Wars. As if that weren’t bad enough, her brother and sisters have gone to France as part of the war effort. Being alone at home in Canela, Texas is certainly not the life Martha would have chosen, but there’s no point in thinking of what might have been. Happy endings, Martha has learned, are meant for other people. Instead of dreaming about the future, she devotes herself to her hometown, where she’s an indispensable member of the community, teaching school and serving on every imaginable civic committee. Life settles into a comfortable pattern until the day a handsome stranger drives into town. Tom Fleming is a man who thrives on change. A renowned photographer, he’s traveled around the world and has no intention of ever settling down. Marriage, a family and small town life are not for him. No, sirree. When Tom arrives in Canela on his cross-country search for a woman whose picture will inspire the soldiers, he can’t believe his luck. Martha York is perfect! All Tom needs is a day or two in Canela, and he’ll be ready to head back to New York, his prize-winning photograph in hand. But life, as Tom has good reason to know, doesn’t always go according to plan, and his two-day stay is extended by Martha’s stubborn refusal to be photographed as well as an attraction neither one of them wants to admit. Soon the rumor mill is predicting a wedding. It’s a preposterous idea. Or is it?

Emily’s convinced that Theo is alive and travels to France to find him. Since no one would let her go if they knew of her mission, she capitalizes on her ability to drive and repair a Model T and signs on as an ambulance driver. Emily is determined to reach Theo, even if it means allying herself with Grant Randall, a newspaper correspondent who writes beautifully but appears oddly unaffected by the war. Though Emily cannot understand how any man can be so cold, she enlists Grant’s aid, promising to keep his breakdown-prone Model T running if he’ll help her find her brother. For his part, though he’s intrigued by the beautiful woman who’s so skilled at what many would consider a man’s work, Grant knows better than to let himself from care too deeply about Emily’s mission. After all, caring is the road to heartache. Though each has reservations, they embark on a journey fraught with danger. As they make their way across the war-torn countryside, Grant encourages Emily to keep her fears at bay by whistling in the dark. But Emily realizes Grant has fears of his own, fears that threaten both his happiness and hers, and no amount of whistling can overcome them.

LOSING JULIA 3/2000 ISBN: 0440234859 Patrick Delaney was just a boy when he marched off to war in 1918. But on the stark battlefields of France, amid the horror and the chaos, Patrick forged a bond that would shape the course of his life. Daniel was Patrick's best friend, his comrade-in-arms. But it was Daniel's lover, Julia, who would change Patrick forever. Julia's letters, shared by Daniel in the muddy trenches, touched Patrick in ways he never could have expected. But years would pass before he finally met her at a war memorial in France. There, on a field still scarred by battle, Patrick closed his eyes in silent prayer and opened them to the woman he had never seen but always loved: Julia. After a brief, passionate encounter, Patrick made a fateful choice and Julia slipped away, perhaps never to return. It is just the beginning of an astonishing story that will span almost a century, a story of memory and desire, history and destiny--and of the people who slip from our grasp, only to hold us forever....
