Rating: 4 out of 5

The story of 4 war brides who meet aboard the ship bringing them to America and form unbreakable bonds of friendship.  Each has expectations of what her life in America will be like with her GI husband, whom she barely knows.As you would expect, each finds something different when she arrives.  The story of how each copes with the unexpected life she is handed makes the story.  Each has her own hurdles to over come and each finds the way to deal with her new life.  The burdens are so great for some that only when the women meet again after a year or so, are they able to regain some of the pluck that brought them to America in the first place.  My only criticism is that one of the stories seemed to be adapted from another I'd read about a woman's intractable husband and his family on an isolated farm, but if you haven't read the other book, this will be a new story to you.
