Synopsis: This “delightful and touching” international bestseller tells the true stories of four British women who married American soldiers after WWII (Daily Mail, UK).American soldiers stationed in the UK came away winning more than just a war, they also won the hearts of young women across Britain. At the end of World War II, more than 70,000 GI brides followed the men they’d married—men they barely knew—to begin a new life in the United States. This volume vividly recounts the stories of four such women as they made America their home.In GI Brides, readers will meet Sylvia Bradley, a loyal, bright-eyed optimist; Rae Brewer, a resourceful, quick-witted tomboy; Margaret Boyle, an English beauty who faced down every challenge; and Gwendolyn Rowe, a brave woman ahead of her time. Though all made the bold choice to leave family and the world they knew, the journey each experienced was unique—ranging from romantic to heartbreaking.
