review 1: Why does it seem that the ones we hurt the most are the those whom we love the most? Grace dreams of designing costumes for Hollywood stars. She puts her dreams on hold to care for her family and her father who is ill. As men are drafted into service during World War II, Grace takes a job as a welder at a ship builder's yard. Yet, she yearns to see the world. Fellow welder's Violet and Lena, mother and daughter, are holding out hope that Lena's twin brother Derrick will one day return after being declared missing-in-action. Violet desires the stability that her husband Jago cannot provide. Lena wants their family farm. Paralleling their story is Julia who is mourning the loss of her fiancé. Connecting them all is the family farm. When Violet returns in her final days her ... moredesire is to close the gaps and put together the missing pieces and people so important to her life. We can't take back our past mistakes, but we can strive for a better future.
review 2: A nice story that plays out in 20's, WWII, 50's, and 2000. As Julia stays at her Aunt's farm for a year while her Aunt travels in an RV around the country. She deals with her own loss but is forced to come to grips with her sadness when her long lost unknown grandmother shows up and everything the family thought they knew about themselves gets turned upside down! An intriguing multi-generational story, well written. less
