Cast in stardust, their love would be tested to its steel ...
Torn between family and service, old dreams and new duty after the Great War, Arthur Shreve* convinces himself that good men serve conspicuously 'in the sun' and reenlists. On Oahu, he meets the androgenous Julia McCoy who turns his beliefs of sex, love, and service upside down. Both deeply in love but plagued by hails and farewells, they navigate years of separation until Julia leaves Smith College to become his wife to join Arthur on an epic climb through lavish society in the Interwar years. Their love is messy, imperfect, yet they always retreat to their one refuge: LOVE. Julia's demons―split desires and alcohol-follow her as they move with two children from pillar to post and struggle to keep passion and identity alive.In their corner, loyal officers and their American family serve beside them in the shadows...who will not only save each other, but many more to come as they all march toward a catastrophic test of love and strength only found in the glare of war. *A relevant true story that validates the age-old paradoxes and dilemmas of milspouses, military families, and people in service. A vivid and immersive account of the Golden Age of the US Army during the tumultuous Interwar years underscored by American history that captures an inspiring hero and role model written with historical accuracy by a family member with first-hand knowledge.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Three wars. Two hearts. One Unforgettable Couple. A love forged in the army's shadow.he aspired to stardust; she fought to be steel. His service and her secret would take them to the brink.When a young pilot, LT Arthur Lee Shreve\*, becomes torn between family and reenlisting after the Great War, he defaults to the army, convinced that good men serve conspicuously 'in the sun'-a path that will lead to the exciting but complex love of his life who will challenge all former beliefs about sex, service, and even love itself.As Arthur meets Julia in Hawaii, their love seems cast in stardust .until the grit and glamour of the Interwar years shakes their romance and tests their steel. As they move from pillar to post-from Hawaii to Fort Leavenworth-Arthur finds passion and purpose, compelled to rise with the iridescent era, unaware how fiercely his wife is driven by former demons and a lover-now lost in the relentless shadow of the army.Through the challenges and paradoxes of military life, they battle between duty and identity, until they arrive at 1940 where Arthur's 20-year service is celebrated leaving Julia wondering about her value, her contributions, and even love itself as she careens towards personal crisis.As the world drifts toward war, they enjoy the last halcyon days with supportive family and loyal officers who have stood beside them and now face being called to service, and to find the heroic impulse, again.Fans of the Nightingale and The Great Alone by Kristin Hanna will enjoy the emotional depth-love tested by global conflict and history-like The Long Blue Shadow while readers of The Paris Wife by Paula McClain will love the same atmospheric 1920s and tension between identity and partnership. Fans of Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway will echo the same human cost of duty, love, and history-all a good preview for Book II that will ring true with fans of The Women, also by Hanna. \*A relevant true story that validates the age-old paradoxes and dilemmas of milspouses, military families, and people in service.
