At the end of World War II - four war brides travel to America - they all all destined for the New York area, and make friends aboard ship. They vow to stay in touch with each other. Each faces the lost of the familiar and their family to travel to the unknown.  Betty, Madeline, Alice, and June arrive in America and go their separate ways. Each bride has challenges that must be overcome. I enjoyed "meeting" these women and seeing how they adopted to America and overcame their trials. The author, Soraya Lane, made these characters come alive and realistically portrayed the trials the brides faced. My sister-in-law was a war bride from Germany - she also faced similar challenges. I found the story authentic and appreciated all the research the author went to to tell this story.
