This is a novel of redemption for a woman who has lost everything, a novel of several mysteries and a celebration of the women who served in the US Navy during World War I. Half the novel is about a woman who had inherited a beach cottage in Ocean View, Virginia in 1968, and the other half is a memoir of a "Yeomanette" in 1918. The two stories ultimately come together in the end. I defy you not to get teary eyed in the last few pages of the story. A great novel.
