I'll be seeing you : a novel / Robin Lee Hatcher.

Hatcher, Robin Lee, (author.).

Summary:

"Generations of secrets unfold as a young college student learns the truth about her great-grandmother's World War II heartbreak and love. For fans of Francine Rivers and Karen Kingsbury.Brianna Hastings's life seems dull and full of disappointment until a handsome young man visits her church. She's instantly smitten by the charming Greg, who leads an exciting, independent life-the kind of life she longs for. But when a college history assignment forces Brianna to interview her great-grandmother about life during World War II, she can't believe it when Daisy presses her with questions about Greg's character. "What sort of man is he? Who is he at his core?" What could her great-grandmother possibly know about love at first sight? The questions take both women back to Boise, Idaho, in the early 1940s, when war emphasized how fragile life could be. Daisy and her older sister pine for the same handsome bomber pilot-until one night of terrible judgment reveals their true characters and drives them apart. Trying to protect the people she loves the most, Daisy condemns herself to live a lie. In the years that follow, as Daisy grapples with the consequences, she receives unexpected grace from a man she's known her whole life but never looked at twice. Could what she learned about love save Brianna from heartache three generations later?"-- Provided by publisher.

Publishers Weekly Review

I'll Be Seeing You

Publishers Weekly


(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

The consequences of a long-ago romantic tryst come to light in this enjoyable historical by Hatcher (Make You Feel My Love). Brianna Hastings, an entitled college student, dreads interviewing her 98-year-old great-grandmother Daisy for a history project, but becomes gradually involved as Daisy reflects on her tumultuous love life during WWII. Flashback to 1942, when a young Daisy swoons over older sister Lillian's boyfriend, Brandan Gallagher. Lillian expects him to propose while he is home on military leave, but Brandan is reluctant to rush into marriage and fearful of how the war will change him. A hurt Lillian pushes him away, and he drunkenly turns to Daisy for comfort and revenge. Brandan leaves for combat ashamed of what he's done, and Daisy soon learns she's pregnant. She marries a close friend who offers to provide cover for her secret, but when Brandan returns, Daisy must confront her feelings of sinfulness and make peace with God about betraying her sister. Brianna's plotline languishes in comparison to Daisy's, but Hatcher skillfully illustrates her message that God transforms bad into good for those with faith. WWII-era inspirational fans will relish this tale. (June)
