Summer 1944: Stranded behind enemy lines in France,
eighteen-year-old Katrinka Badeau escapes German deserters with the
help of Major Willoughby Nye. Once an employee on her father's
merchant ship, Nye is now part of an undercover Jedburgh operation,
working for the Allies. When he offers her a job on his team, she
accepts. Her work throws her together with Sergeant Wolfe Farr, the
team's tough-talking radio operator, and they embark on an intense
love affair. But Katrinka is not prepared to accept Wolfe's plans
for the future. And her love for Nye, which has evolved from an
adolescent crush to that of a young woman, still endures. With the
liberation of France, both men are sent to the Far East. Realising
what she has lost, Katrinka joins a small entertainment troupe, and
sets out on an arduous journey around the world to find Wolfe. But
when the three are finally reunited, which love will withstand the
test of time? Praise for Just Another Girl on the Road: "Difficult
history, abuse, war and love combine in this emotional examination
of the end of World War II... A deep, evocative read ...inventive,
finely-woven and captivating." - IndieReader "Well-plotted and
often exciting... An informed, imaginative tale that adds some
romance to a well-researched war story." - Kirkus Reviews
