After losing her husband, Bradley, in the Titanic disaster, Florence Cumings' heartache is far from over.
Her teenage son, Wells, is killed in the WWI battle of Belleau Wood while defending France with the Allies. Two decades later, her second husband, Chess, dies of influenza shortly before her eldest son, Jack, succumbs to the effects of injuries sustained in the Great War.
Now, in the midst of WWII, Florence lives alone in New York City until her granddaughter Eva comes to stay with her. When Eva finds letters Jack and Wells wrote while serving in France, ghosts from the past visit both women, and Florence shows Eva how to endure life's greatest challenges with dignity and grace.
Like the bestselling novel Sheltering Angel, Sheltering Angel of Belleau Wood is based on a true story. This sequel to the bestseller can be enjoyed as a standalone.
