"An incredibly moving account of an often-forgotten moment in history -- those years after the war that were filled with the unknown....tells the story of the thousands of soldiers who were lost amid the chaos and ruins in battled scarred France, and the even greater number of men and women hoping to find them again."-- Publisher, back of cover.
1921. Survivors of the Great War are desperately trying to piece together the fragments of their broken lives. While many have been reunited with their loved ones, Edie's husband Francis is still missing. Francis is presumed to have been killed in action, but Edie knows he is alive. When Edie receives a mysterious photograph that she believes was taken by Francis, she is more certain than ever he isn't dead. Edie embarks on her own journey in the hope of finding some trace of her husband. Is he truly gone, or could he still be alive? And if he is, why hasn't he come home?
"A sweeping tale of forbidden love, true loss, and the startling truth of the broken families left behind in the wake of World War I."-- Provided by publisher.
