Arrival
A saga of love, war, and jazz…
One hero will risk it all to save the world...and the woman he loves. In late World War I France, disillusioned American soldier and musician Sgt. David Pierce fights the German enemy and tours the French countryside with the famed Harlem Hellfighters Band. These “Men of Bronze” are not only brave soldiers, but talented musicians who are conquering Europe with a secret weapon—Jazz.
In a cruel irony, David and his fellow soldiers are forbidden to serve in the war as Americans; instead, they fight for a grateful French army. As he battles in the trenches and with the relentless color line, David also has an unfinished war raging back home in the U.S. Facing an uncertain—yet certainly unhappy—future, he meets a woman who will change his life forever. However, her secrets challenge everything David believes about love, duty and sacrifice.
How far will he go to win on all fronts?

I received Remembrance by H.Buchanan in a Goodreads Giveaway.
The Harlem Hellfighters Band is a group of Negro Jazz Muscians who are also American Soldiers who are denied serving their country in World War 1.
They fight for the French Army against the German Invasion of France.
One of them, Sgt. David Pierce meets a fellow Muscian whom he only knows as Giselle. A woman who he cannot forget.
Remembrance is written like a Journal, full of letters, notes, lyrics, memories, love and war.
Fascinating reading.
