A historical fiction read with such strong characters! Beatrix was sent to America to be safe from the war. While she is there, she becomes a part of the Gregory family. Years later she returns to London, and we follow her story into adulthood.
I loved the beginning of this story as B spends her childhood in America. We also get her mother’s POV as she is struggling through those same years without her daughter. B has so many relationships in this story and truly has two families.
Although they are short chapters, I enjoyed seeing how her time in America changed B as she becomes an adult. She may be gone, but she is never forgotten.
I enjoyed Millie’s character in this story. To send her daughter across the ocean to keep her safe was such a difficult choice. For years she struggled and filled the gaps with work. B’s return was just as hard, but I enjoyed watching them reconnect.
