With the world at war and her strength across an ocean, can she learn to stand on her own?
Lizzie Peterson’s life changes in ways she never expected after the attack on Pearl Harbor. When her
brother enlists, her first instinct is to hide away from the world. But with him gone, it’s up to Lizzie to
support her family.
It’s a heavy burden for someone who’s always been sheltered from the world.
Finding employment is easy, but doing the work is not, and Lizzie bounces from one job to another in
search of the perfect career. At times, a dark fog takes over and Lizzie isn’t sure she can make it
through another day.
Then she learns a family secret - one hidden from her by the people she trusted the most. And it
threatens to push Lizzie past her breaking point.
Can she accept that life will never be the same again? Will Lizzie find the inner strength to fight
through her dark thoughts and emerge on the other side, victorious?
