Alice's War

Weymouth, England 1939
War changes everything. For grandson Martin, coming of age under the backdrop of World War II. For Sonja, the Jewish refugee he’s drawn to, who left her family in Germany only to face new dangers in England. And for Alice. Recently widowed, she must set aside her long-awaited chance to recreate her life on her own terms when the war places her two grandchildren in her care. As outside forces tear Alice’s family and community apart, she quietly gathers and reforms their sustaining bonds.
Set in the town of Weymouth against the grand backdrop of England’s Jurassic Coast and with a front-seat view of the unfolding drama, Alice’s War immerses the reader in a time unlike any in modern history.

McClain has created a masterpiece with his down-home appeal and real-life drama centered around World War II. The characters are ordinary people who will touch your heart and leave a lasting impression. Midwest Book Review
