Something Borrowed

Three exceptionally talented novelists bring us a captivating collection of stories bound together by a very special dress, . . . each story rich in intriguing historical details, vividly drawn characters, and heart-stirring emotional resonance. A Heart in Disguise by Rachel Scott McDaniel: Clara Westlake loves her job as a seamstress in the US 'Camouflage Corps'. When she overhears a threat against New York City, the Great War comes too close to home - except no one believes her forewarning. She must recruit Marcus Reeves, a childhood friend searching for his purpose after suffering a devastating war injury. A Letter to Eli by Allison Pittman: Bette and Alice are lifelong friends, trying to make a life for themselves in New York City while World War II rages. It's never far away from their thoughts - not with Alice's fiancé serving at sea. That's a worry Bette doesn't envy. Then a secret letter reunites her with her soldier ex-boyfriend, now wounded and back in the States. A Daffodil in the Dress by Susie Finkbeiner: Kate Becker and Ike Finch have worked together at his family's bookstore since Kate's husband died in the Vietnam War. She has her daughter, Eloise, to take care of and bills to pay. When Ike brings little Eloise flowers one day, Kate begins to look at him as more than an employer.
