This time, she'll cling tighter, pray harder, and fight longer for the man she loves. When Caroline Myers and her sister Kate find a wilted red rose on their mother's headstone, the door to Emma Rose Walsh's past swings open. AS THE DARK CLOUDS OF WAR escalate in Europe, Emma leaves her North Carolina home and the soldier whose heart has never stopped longing for hers. However, when Andrew Brown, the charming Scotsman who'd won her affection, fails to meet her train in Chicago, Emma questions her hasty decision. Hundreds of miles now separate her from all that's familiar and the people she loves. Has she misread Drew? Did her rush to heal her past prompt her to dismiss warning bells and ignore common sense? Perhaps her sister is right-happy endings are only found in fairy tales.
