Adella: Already Home Book 7
By Kimberly Grist
In 1917 every man, woman, and child was called to civic duty as the “war to end all wars” encompassed the globe.
When the patriotic call comes, Adella begins her campaign of
encouragement by corresponding with the frightened and lonely soldiers. On the
cusp of adulthood, the young woman is tired of living a cosseted life and hopes
to gain her parent’s support when she wants to volunteer her services to the
war effort. Her mother worries for her safety, but Adella is more concerned for
her heart.
As a recent college graduate, Gibb is led down a path he never anticipated. And
one unexpected meeting at a train station tips all of his carefully laid plans
into chaos. In the void, Adella’s words of affection flow across the
continents. The image of her smile and the consistency of her letters give him
a reason to hope.

in danger, but he has to heal fast. His role in hunting down the head of a
