This novel, written in epistolary form, is the result of the clever collaboration of two authors - one writes as Glory, a young mother from Massachusetts, and the other writes as Rita, a middle aged mother living in Iowa. Their correspondence begins during a meeting of wives whose husbands are serving during WWII. Glory randomly selects Rita's name, and thus begins a relationship that grows into a meaningful friendship as they share all their challenges despite the disparity in age and background. They write about their fears, their loneliness, their neighbors, and they share recipes. Their letters are often poignant, sometimes amusing and always heartfelt. For those of us who have been in a situation where a husband is deployed, we understand their connection. As their friendship grows, so does our understanding of these two women.

"It's January 1943 when Rita Vincenzo receives her first letter from Glory Whitehall. Glory is an effervescent young mother from New England, impulsive and free as a bird. Rita is a Midwestern professor's wife with a love of gardening and a generous, old soul. These two women have nothing in common except one powerful bond: the men they love are fighting in a war a world away from home. Brought together by an unlikely twist of fate, Glory and Rita begin a remarkable correspondence. The friendship forged by their letters allows them to survive the loneliness and uncertainty of waiting on the home front, and gives them the courage to face the battles raging in their very own backyards. Connected across the country by the lifeline of the written word, each woman finds her life profoundly altered by the other's unwavering support."--Publisher's description.
