He is someone else entirely-someone not to be trusted. But after several weeks, she discovers that Rudi, her mysterious visitor, is not the lonely outsider he appears to be. He claims to be a trapper come from away, and, as Grace gets to know him, she becomes enamoured by his gentle smile and thoughtful ways. Then, one day, a handsome stranger ventures into the store. Three years later, the fighting rages on and the harsh realities of war come closer to home when rumours swirl about "wolf packs" of German U-Boats lurking in the deep waters along the shores of East Jeddore, a stone's throw from Grace's window. The war, everyone says, will be over before it starts. Grace stays behind, tending to the homefront and the general store that helps keep her small Nova Scotian community running. In the fall of 1939, Grace Baker's three brothers, sharp and proud in their uniforms, board Canadian ships headed for a faraway war. Inspired by a little-known World War II legend, a young woman and a stranger "from away" are caught on opposite sides of war in this enthralling novel about love and second chances from USA TODAY and #1 bestselling author Genevieve Graham.
