Two sisters who don’t get along in the time of WWII. I love reading books during that time period. The author did a great job describing the Springfield Armory and the characters she developed to live during that time. A good part of the story is true based on the research the author did. She had to move some of the events to make the story move along the way she wished, but even the cook who was a singer was a real person back in the day. I think every family have had some issues in their family and mine was no exception. I could see these sisters and understand their individual problems easily enough. I’ve seen similar family problems. The story seemed real and the characters even more so. I believe Lynda Cohen Loigman really has a gift and she used it extremely well in telling the story of the Springfield Armory during WWII. She another author I’ll have to add to my list to follow. What a great story! Five Stars to this one!

Description as found on GoodReads:
Two estranged sisters, raised in Brooklyn and each burdened with her own shocking secret, are reunited at the Springfield Armory in the early days of WWII. While one sister lives in relative ease on the bucolic Armory campus as an officer’s wife, the other arrives as a war widow and takes a position in the Armory factories as a “soldier of production.” Resentment festers between the two, and secrets are shattered when a mysterious figure from the past reemerges in their lives.
