Not all of war's destruction takes place on the battlefield.
Becoming Mrs. Smith is a novella told in scenes, not chapters - over fourteen years, the way memory holds onto a life: vivid in places, quiet in between. It carries you back to pre-war, small-town America, where a young couple's love story begins to unfold.
Violet's heart flutters from the scarlet fever she survived as a child, and it beats faster at the sight of John Smith, the man she plans to marry. America is entrenched in WWII, and when John enlists, Violet is certain she won't ever forgive him for dashing their dreams. As the realities of war slowly overtake her life, Violet's days are filled with uncertainty and grief. The world she knows is coming apart. Her faith in John is next.
Becoming Mrs. Smith is a novella of women's historical fiction - a home-front story of a woman fighting to hold on to a love that war and illness both threaten to take. If you like quiet courage and stories that ache in the best way, you'll want to meet Violet.
