Set after six years of war, the series finale finds former nurse Kitty McCarthy facing an unexpected rupture in her marriage: her husband, Michael, wants to leave Britain for the Canadian west. Kitty sets out after him, but the journey’s significance shifts from restoring their relationship to discovering who she might become. The description links the personal upheaval of a marriage under strain with the wider transition from wartime life to an uncertain future, placing Kitty’s changing sense of identity at the heart of the story.

Book overview

The final installment in The Red Cross Orphans series from the Globe & Mail bestselling author!

When the war is over, what will remain?

With six hard years of war behind her, former nurse Kitty McCarthy should be facing a bright future. But her husband Michael shatters her peace in an instant when he tells her he feels hemmed in by Britain, and wants to return to the wide-open plains of the Canadian west. Before she can process this life-changing news, Michael is gone.

It's not long before Kitty finds herself in the air and on her way to an unknown land. But what begins as a journey to reclaim her husband and restore her marriage, soon becomes a journey to find herself, and this new, liberated and adventurous version of Kitty is like nothing she could have imagined...
