Song of Return
“And, confidentially, I confess. I sent a note to the local press that I’ll be changing my home address for you!”
Ava sings out with the band as surviving soldiers from World War II, including her brother James, return to life on the home front. The home they are returning to, however, is not the same home they left behind. A changed economy, broken relationships, new educational opportunities, children born to them during the war, and family expectations all await them. They must meet this new world while trying to escape the horrific one of war they just left behind.
The war has also changed the women. Many are reluctant to give up the jobs and freedoms given to them during a time when it was up to them to keep the home front running. Ava Stilwell’s world keeps expanding even after the war. Can she balance being a new wife with college and her burgeoning musical career? Can her cousin Rosemary continue to work and be with the man she truly loves? How does one war widow cope with her grief and enter the life of Carson Stilwell?
World War II has changed the world and the Stilwell family forever, but faith and love continue to sustain them. Song of Return is the second book of The War Song Series
