Thank you to Bethany House and NetGalley for my advanced electronic copy.

Maggie McCleod is touring with an all-girl band, entertaining on the home front during World War II while the men are away. But when her sharp tongue gets her in trouble she takes a job with a USO touring group to prove that she can do something that matters. Her bandmate, sheltered and wealthy Catherine Duquette, jumps at the chance to escape her overbearing, selfish parents and joins up too. Their troupe barely begins to work together when their manager announces the chance of a lifetime--a shot at a position with a big-time USO touring group to the performer he feels is most worthy at the end of the tour. Will they be able to pull together to support not only the troops in North Africa, but each other too? Or will the pressures and dangers of war be the end of them?

I appreciated the dual point of view we got between the two dissimilar women. It offered a broader view of the time, the war, and the USO. Women played an important role in the war effort at home and abroad, and this story brought so many different of those roles to life, including that of entertainer (to boost morale). We see vignettes on a journey of growth and discovery for both women and their motley crew of performers in the crucible of war. I was impressed with how much Green was able to pack into the story and still keep it cohesive and natural. I ended up loving all the characters and their story arc, and I'm looking forward to reading more of Green's work.

I surely enjoyed this novel.
I couldn't put the book down once I started it.
I.think my favorite character is Maggie. With her spunk and sassy ways she is what truly made this story.
This book truly in my opinion deserves 5 stars because it's so well written. I love reading anything by this author and this one didn't disappoint.
Lots of goings on in this adventure!
I think the one characters that I really didn't like were Huey and Catherine.
I didn't like how Huey done his troupe.
Catherine because she was a spoiled brat and went about everything the wrong way.
But Catherine does give us a wonderful surprise somewhere along the line. I won't say I'll let y'all read it for yourself, but you will like it.
Her father wasn't any better. Being "protective " controlling is what i
I call it; It can go too far at times.
This was an outstanding read.
For most of the side characters I did love.
Forgiveness is the theme. Forgive others before it's too late. Because you never know if that person will be there tomorrow. Tomorrow's never promised.
Again, I just want to say how much I enjoyed this novel. It touched my heart to the very core.
A quote from the vook from Catherine
Father always said his business was built on trust, and I’ve given my word to the USO. I know this can’t last forever, but for another few weeks, I really feel I ought to and I feel like she was going to say stay.
Trust and forgiveness and hope. Maybe some light at the end of the tunnel.
Here's another one;
“Yes, I’m a regular red bombshell.” Catherine said
“Who called you that? Arthur scoffed No offense meant, of course he added quickly.
I highly recommend it.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Another satisfying and illuminating work of historical fiction from Green, who is on my auto-read list.
