Enchanted Islands

Inspired by the memoirs of Frances Conway, this is an enchanting story of enduring female friendship and the concessions made, the leaps of faith taken and the secrets withheld in the course of one extraordinary lifetime. Set just before World War II, we follow the friendship of Frances and Rosalie who grew up in small-town Minnesota and are tethered by a shameful secret. This propels them to Chicago until they lose touch after an unbearably cruel betrayal. Life takes both Frances and Rosalie in very different directions, but faith brings them back together just before Frances is called to the Galápagos Islands after a quick, late in life marriage. Captivating and engrossing, this book will fulfill all your escapist fantasies.
