Description:
Before
they became The Greatest Generation, they were young men and women in
love . . .
The
year is 1953 and London is throwing the party of the century. Even
though the ravages of World War II are still visible throughout the
kingdom, the world is gathering on the Mall to celebrate the
coronation of England's beautiful young queen.
For
almost ten years, journalist Mac Weaver has been far from his New
York home. America has changed since the war ended and he wonders if
there's still a place for him in the land of backyard barbecues and a
new Ford in every driveway.
However
a chance encounter with beautiful English reporter Jane Townsend is
about to change his life forever. As the new monarch waves from the
window of her fairy-tale glass coach, a homesick Yank and a lonely
Brit fall in love.
One
week later, Mr. and Mrs. Mac Weaver board the Queen Mary for New York
and a guaranteed happily ever after future in the land where dreams
come true.
But
there are dark shadows on the horizon that threaten Mac and Jane's
happiness and family scandals that just might tear them apart . . .
"This
generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny."
--Franklin
Delano Roosevelt

About
the Author:
A
full-fledged Baby Boomer, Barbara Bretton grew up in New York City
during the Post-World War II 1950s with the music of the Big Bands as
the soundtrack to her childhood. Her father and grandfather served in
the navy during the war. Her uncles served in the army. None of them
shared their stories.
But
her mother, who had enjoyed a brief stint as Rosie the Riveter,
brought the era to life with tales of the Home Front that were better
than any fairy tale. It wasn’t until much later that Barbara
learned the rest of the story about the fiancé who had been lost in
the war, sending her mother down a different path that ultimately led
to a second chance at love . . . and to the daughter who would one
day tell a little part of that story.
There
is always one book that’s very special to an author, one book or
series that lives deep inside her heart. SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY and
STRANGER IN PARADISE, books 1 and 2 of the Home Front series, are
Barbara’s. She hopes they’ll find a place in your heart too.
