I am excited to announce that my third novel in the ‘Promise Series’ will be released on Amazon on May 26th. It’s been a longer time than I had hoped to finish it but it has finally taken shape and is with my early readers. It will be released in paperback and ebook formats. Spread the news!
Here’s the cover and the blurb to help get you excited (I hope!):
Young, newly married, and far from the familiar. Can this WWII war bride find her place in a foreign land?
April, 1947. Pearl Griffith fears she’s made a mistake. Leaving England after falling in love with a Canadian stationed in her homeland, she can’t imagine life without the handsome soldier. But cut off from her supportive family, the twenty-one-year-old’s usual confidence falters into misery under her mother-in-law’s unrelenting emotional abuse.
Aching from the harsh attacks on her dignity, the lonesome transplant bonds with an eclectic group of ladies. And discovering echoes of wartime suffering in their husbands’ battle fatigue, she volunteers at the psychiatric institute—even as changes at home bring new hope and looming heartache.
Can Pearl renew her inner strength and prevail in proving her worth?
In this touching tribute to the vital role women play in each other’s lives, Marie Gage delves into the heartbreak, culture shock, and fight for normalcy that confronted the post-WWII generation. And as readers explore her tender saga of ordinary moments in the aftermath of a world-shaking war, they will discover a beautiful tapestry of joy, sorrow, and triumph.
A Touch of Promise is the uplifting third standalone story in the Promise women’s fiction series. If you like big-hearted heroines, the power of sisterhood, and a splash of humor, then you’ll adore Marie Gage’s dramatic breath of fresh air.
I cannot yet give you a link to the preorder but stay tuned and I will pass it along.
Marie.
