About the book
Christine stood watching her father take his third curtain call to the thunderous cheering of the theater audience. Her father had just become the idol of the London stage. The adulation, however, did not stop him from forsaking the stage and his family when a tragic accident happened on his stage a short time later.
Twelve years have passed without a word from her father, and the First World War has begun and is dangerously near. Christine is sent to America to her father. She does not look forward to their reunion.
She is abandoned again when she arrives in New York and is denied entry. She finds that he is in Seattle. Fearing being sent back to England, she slips onto a Canadian boat docked at the pier.
Christine finally reaches her father, joins the Women’s Army Signal Corps, and goes to Europe with the army. At the end of the war, she returns to Atlanta, her husband’s home. This is just the beginning of her adventurous life full of romance, mystery, and events that will change her world.
