"Today We Go Home shines an illuminating light on history and the
female soldiers who have served this country from the Civil War to
Afghanistan today. Kelli Estes passionately brings the past to
life, interweaving the story of two women from different centuries
whose journey towards hope is timeless."-GWENDOLYN WOMACK, USA
Today bestselling author of The Fortune Teller and The Time
Collector In this evocative work of historical fiction, USA Today
bestselling author Kelli Estes pairs two military women who-in the
Civil War and Afghanistan-share determination, honor, and a call to
serve the United States, no matter the cost. Seattle, Washington:
Larkin Bennett has always known her place, whether it's surrounded
by her loving family in the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest
or conducting a dusty patrol in Afghanistan. But all of that
changed the day tragedy struck her unit and took away everything
she held dear. Soon after the disaster, Larkin discovers an
unexpected treasure-the diary of Emily Wilson, a young woman who
disguised herself as a man to fight for the Union in the Civil War.
As Larkin struggles to heal, she finds herself drawn deeply into
Emily's life and the secrets she kept. Indiana, 1861: The only
thing more dangerous to Emily Wilson than a rebel soldier is the
risk of her own comrades in the Union Army discovering her secret.
But, as the war marches on and takes its terrible toll, Emily
begins to question everything she thought she was willing to risk
her life for. Historical fiction fans of Marie Benedict, Beatriz
Williams, and Kate Quinn will be inspired by this story of two
women in militaries, separated by centuries, but united in hope and
dignity.
THE COST OF COURAGE is a work of military fiction based on the true
story of two brothers who served in separate campaigns of WWII.
After being shot down over Berlin, one brother is forced to endure
both mental and physical torture as a POW at Stalag Luft III. As a
defiant soul, he gains the respect of his comrades by making life
difficult for his captors. However, things change after an
ill-fated trip to solitary where it is revealed by another airman
that his brother has died in the Doolittle Raid over Tokyo.
Devastated, he struggles with the will to survive while reminiscing
about his brother.
