Top voices in historical fiction deliver an intensely moving collection of short stories about loss, longing, and hope in the aftermath of World War I—featuring bestselling authors such as Hazel Gaynor, Jennifer Robson, Beatriz Williams, and Lauren Willig and edited by Heather Webb.
A squadron commander searches for meaning in the tattered photo of a girl he’s never met…
A Belgian rebel hides from the world, only to find herself nursing the enemy…
A young airman marries a stranger to save her honor—and prays to survive long enough to love her…
The peace treaty signed on November 11, 1918, may herald the end of the Great War but for its survivors, the smoke is only beginning to clear. Picking up the pieces of shattered lives will take courage, resilience, and trust.
Within crumbled city walls and scarred souls, war’s echoes linger. But when the fighting ceases, renewal begins…and hope takes root in a fall of poppies.

What a beautiful cover! I’m very happy for you!
Thank you, Elizabeth!
When I was in Grade 5, the teacher said her fiance had been a flier in WW1 but had died before returning home and getting married. She dedicated the rest of her life to his memory, never marrying or having children.
WW1 love and lost love can be a heartbreaker.
I have been very interested in the 100 year anniversary of 1914, then 1915 and now 1916. Particularly in the writings of the war poets. Thanks for the important link to your book,
