When an unexpected snow storm forces Thomas Fontane--a chain-smoking, scotch-drinking, stubborn old man--to open his cramped San Fernando Valley apartment to porn star Kitty St. Clare, he is surprised to find himself empathizing with her experiences of suffering, loss, guilt, and grief. Out of the Storm revolves around the lives of two people who seem to have little in common. But though they come from very different worlds--Fontane is a widower, sensitive, and well-read, St. Clare is a popular adult film star whose main goal in life is to numb the pain of her tragic childhood--each finds in the other a shared humanity.

Book Description
In Distant Fields, by million copy and Sunday Times bestselling author Charlotte Bingham, is a wonderfully heart-wrenching and heart-warming novel of love, heartbreak and, most importantly of all, the remarkable nature of female friendship. Fans of Louise Douglas, Dinah Jefferies and Kristin Hannah will not be disappointed. 'An engaging, romantic and nostalgic read' -- Daily Mail 'A rip-roaring combination of high romance and breathless excitement' -- Mail on Sunday 'As compelling as ever' -- Woman & Home 'Just wonderful!' -- ***** Reader review 'I found I couldn't put it down... FANTASTIC!!' -- ***** Reader review 'There has been a lot written about the Great War, then and now - and this should join the list of must-be-read books. So forget WAR HORSE. This is the one.' -- ***** Reader review ***************************************************************************************** ALL ARE EQUAL IN LOVE AND WAR... Christmas 1913: Kitty and Lady Partita are best friends despite vastly different backgrounds. Partita has invited her friend, Kitty, to stay at her ancestral home, Borders Castle. The grandeur of Partita's family seat is in stark contrast to Kitty's home in London where she and her mother, Violet, struggle to maintain appearances despite Kitty's father gambling away the family money. Kitty is introduced to the aristocracy - a fascinating, decorative and theatrical world - and is enthralled, desperately wanting to be part of this way of life. But war breaks out, not only irrevocably changing society, but also the lives of these two beautiful young women. The headstrong Partita and down-to-earth Kitty become nurses and selflessly care for the men horrifically injured in the trenches of WWI. Will world events put a strain on their friendship, or will the strength of their bond shine through?
