RITA and Spur Award-winning Kelly delivers two romantic novellas set against the backdrop of America's home front during WWII. In "All My Love," WAC clerk-typist Veronica "Ronnie" Green's routine daily duties at the North American Aviation plant take an unexpected romantic detour when she meets MP Sergeant Ernie Brown on the bus. In "Yet I Will Love Him," war widow Audrey Nolan Allerton returns home to her father's farm in Wyoming, only to find her quiet life turned upside down when the farmers in Goshen County, including Audrey's father, begin using German prisoners of war as farm labor. With her superb command of historical details and a flair for crafting compelling characters, Kelly (Her Smile, 2021) effectively immerses readers in day-to-day efforts of Americans trying to do their part to win the war. Especially noteworthy is the quietly powerful and often poignant way in which Kelly underscores how everyone has a story to tell.
