"Filled with vivid details, shocking truths, and two sly, strong
women who bring panache and humor to every scene. I'm simply in awe
of the masterful, magical way Lauren Willig makes history come
alive." - Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The
Magnolia Place From New York Times bestselling author Lauren
Willig: a dramatic coming-of-age story with a dual timeline and a
single heroine-a bold and adventuring young woman who finds herself
caught up in two very different wars on both sides of the Atlantic.
September 1896: An aspiring archaeologist, Smith College graduate
Betsy Hayes travels to Athens, desperate to break into the
male-dominated field of excavation. In the midst of the heat and
dust of Greece she finds an unlikely ally in Charles, Baron de
Robecourt, one of the few men who takes her academic passion
seriously. But when a simmering conflict between Greece and Turkey
erupts into open warfare, Betsy throws herself into the conflict as
a nurse, not knowing that the decision will change her life
forever-and cause a deep and painful rift with her oldest friend,
Ava. June 1898: Betsy has sworn off war nursing-but when she gets
the word that her estranged friend Ava is headed to Cuba with Clara
Barton and the Red Cross to patch up the wounded in the
Spanish-American War, Betsy determines to stop her the only way she
knows how: by joining in her place. Battling heat, disease, and her
own demons, Betsy follows Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders straight
to the heart of the fighting, where she is forced to confront her
greatest fears to save both old friends and new.... Set during an
electrifying era of nation-building, idealism, and upheaval, Two
Wars and a Wedding is the tale of two remarkable women striving to
make their place in a man's world-an unforgettable saga of
friendship, love, and fighting for what is right.
