Book
Come from away / Genevieve Graham.
"In the fall of 1939, Grace Baker watches her three brothers board Canadian ships headed for a faraway war. Grace stays on the home front, doing her part and tending the general store that keeps her small Nova Scotian community running. Everyone says the conflict will be over soon. Three years later, the fighting rages on and the harsh realities of war hit close to home. Telegrams and casualty lists bring devastating news while rumors swirl about "wolf packs" of German U-boats lurking in the deep waters along the shore. Then, one day, a handsome stranger ventures into Grace's store claiming to be a trapper come from away, and as the weeks go by, she finds herself looking forward to seeing his gentle smile. But Rude, her mysterious visitor, is not the lonely outsider he appears to be. When the truth comes to light, Grace is forced to question everything she has believed about the enemy her brothers are battling overseas and the difference betwen doing one's duty and doing what is right. And if Grace is to have a chance at love, she must not only choose a side but take a stand."--Back cover.
