What Remains : The Winter Ward

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The war is ending. The wounded are still arriving.At Rhoads General Hospital in upstate New York, Army nurse Evelyn 'Evie' Lawson knows how to keep her hands steady. She knows how to change dressings, read the silence between words, and smile just enough to make broken men believe they might survive the next hour.What she does not know is how to stop carrying her own grief.After losing her brother to the war, Evie has built a life out of discipline, duty, and the quiet courage of staying. Then two wounded sergeants arrive on a hospital train and disturb every careful boundary she has made.Sergeant John Miller is a Marine shaped by the Pacific-Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, Okinawa-and by wounds he refuses to let anyone see too clearly. Proud, guarded, and dangerous in his silence, John carries pain like a private language.Sergeant Daniel Jackson is a paratrooper from the 101st Airborne, carrying Europe in his bones-Normandy, Holland, Bastogne, Alsace-and hiding his damage behind charm, wit, and a smile sharp enough to draw blood.Both men are wounded. Both men are lonely. Both men see Evie in ways she is not ready to be seen.As peace celebrations spill into the streets, the hospital remains full of nightmares, rehabilitation, laughter, longing, and unfinished war. In the ward, love is not simple. Healing is not clean. Grief does not loosen its grip simply because someone reaches for you.Caught between a Marine who fears becoming the violence he survived and an Army sergeant who jokes because silence might destroy him, Evie must decide what love can ask of her-and what it has no right to take.What Remains: The Winter Ward is an introspective, bittersweet World War II historical romance about wounded soldiers, Army nurses, wartime grief, found family, survivor's guilt, and the slow, painful work of learning how to live after survival.Content NoteThis novel contains depictions of war, combat injury, medical trauma, grief, survivor's guilt, death, rehabilitation, and the psychological aftermath of military service. It also includes references to WWII combat in the Pacific and European theaters. Artikel-Nr. 9798996209804
