Book Description
From a New York Times–bestselling author, “moving and memorable, this novel reveals the impossible choices women face in wartime” (James Patterson, #1 New York Times–bestselling author). Caroline, the young wife of Jacob, a Union solider away at war, is raising their daughter alone on the family farm just outside of Gettysburg. Word arrives that her husband is wounded, so she travels to Washington City to find him. When Jacob succumbs, she brings his body home on the eve of the deadliest battle of the war. With troops and looters roaming the countryside, it is impossible for her to know who is friend and who is foe. Caroline fights to protect those she loves while remaining compassionate to the neediest around her, including two strangers from opposite sides of the war. Each is wounded. Each is drawn to her kindness. Both offer comfort, but only one secretly captures her heart. Still, she must resist exposing her vulnerability in these uncertain times when so much is at risk. In The Yankee Widow, gifted storyteller Linda Lael Miller explores the complexities and heartbreak that women experienced as their men took up arms to preserve the nation. “A must read for historical fiction fans.” —Publishers Weekly “Well told and readers will keep turning the pages.” —Booklist

Book Description
AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER! The war may be officially over, but journalist Billie Walker's search for a missing young immigrant man will plunge her right back into the danger and drama she thought she'd left behind in Europe in this thrilling tale of courage and secrets set in glamorous postwar Sydney. Sydney, 1946. Though war correspondent Billie Walker is happy to finally be home, for her the heady postwar days are tarnished by the loss of her father and the disappearance in Europe of her husband, Jack. To make matters worse, now that the war is over, the newspapers are sidelining her reporting talents to prioritize jobs for returning soldiers. But Billie is a survivor and she's determined to take control of her own future. So she reopens her late father's business, a private investigation agency, and, slowly, the women of Sydney come knocking. At first, Billie's bread and butter is tailing cheating husbands. Then, a young man, the son of European immigrants, goes missing, and Billie finds herself on a dangerous new trail that will lead up into the highest levels of Sydney society and down into its underworld. What is the young man’s connection to an exclusive dance club and a high-class auction house? When the people Billie questions about the young man start to turn up dead, Billie is thrown into the path of Detective Inspector Hank Cooper. Will he take her seriously or will he just get in her way? As the danger mounts and Billie realizes that much more than one young man’s life is at stake, it becomes clear that though the war was won, it is far from over.

Book Description
She hadn't wanted to run away from home like some rebellious teenager but she'd had no choice. Tomorrow she was to be declared mentally incompetent, robbed of her estate, and imprisoned in 'the worst care facility' her stepdaughter could find. At seventy-five, forgetful and frightened, there was no way Mary could stand before a judge and prove her competency. The awful truth was, her stepdaughter might be right. She might be slipping into dementia like her mother before her. Living on the streets of Portland in her eighty-thousand dollar Lexus was embarrassing. Donning a blonde wig and dropping twenty years from her age so she could get a job was audacious. Falling in love at a seniors dance was the last thing she expected.
