Between Sisters

It’s December 6, 1941, and sisters Helen and Addie are putting the finishing touches on their outfits for the Christmas party. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation. The holiday season always brings a sense of warmth and joy to the family, but this year, there’s an added layer of excitement as they look forward to spending the evening with Phil, Helen’s fiancé, and Luke, Addie’s best friend since childhood. However, the specter of war suddenly looms, casting a shadow over their young lives and affecting everyone in different ways. Helen writes letters to Phil filled with love and longing, waiting every day for a reply while Addie anxiously waits for news from Luke, praying for his safe return . Life at home changes drastically as the war effort ramps up, and women are hired to work at the local steelworks. Some people in the community prosper from the war, finding opportunities for profit while others struggle. Despite their differences, the sisters find strength in each other as they navigate the trials and struggles of life during wartime and its aftermath together. —- ISBN: 9798326067852
