The Picture House Girls - Patricia McBride

Her fresh start is just beginning. But the world is on the brink of war.

But this lovely man is as different from her as can be. When the town is divided, pitting the wealthy elite against the poor working class folk like Lily, she finds her allegiance is torn.

And worse: the looming threat of war threatens to separate them forever. Will the dangerous times rob a young woman of her only chance at love?
