Home Front Girls by Suzanne Hayes

Dear Glory,

Loneliness is built into the fabric of this war, isn't it? I say a little prayer before I stick my hand in the mailbox. The "Rockport, Massachusetts" stamp on the front of an envelope means the clouds will part, revealing a brilliant sun....

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.

Filled with unforgettable characters and unbridled charm, Home Front Girls is a timeless celebration of the strength and solidarity of women. It is a luminous reminder that even in the darkest of times, true friendship will carry us through.

Loretta Nyhan was a voracious reader before she became a writer, absorbing everything she could get her hands on, including cereal box backs and the Barbie Dreamhouse instruction handbook. Her fascination with reading later turned into an unquenchable need to write. She worked for national trade journals after college, taught writing to college freshman, and eventually had the courage to try fiction. Nyhan and Suzanne Hayes collaborated on two historical books, Empire Girls and the Kirkus-starred I'll Be Seeing You. All the Good Parts and the teen paranormal thrillers The Witch Collector Part I and The Witch Collector Part II are among her solo works.

Nyhan spends her free time crocheting, baking, and doing other activities that her high school self would find amusing. Loretta Nyhan's website is www.lorettanyhan.com.
