A romantic historical YA novel featuring strong female characters from the acclaimed author of Wait for Me.

It’s 1942, and as the war rages in Europe, Maisie McCall is in the Scottish Highlands swinging an ax for the Women’s Timber Corps. Maisie relishes her newfound independence working alongside other lumberjacks - including the mysterious John Lindsay.

As Maisie and John work side by side felling trees together, Maisie can’t help but feel that their friendship has the spark of something more to it. And yet every time she gets close to him, John pulls away. It’s not until Maisie rescues John from a terrible logging accident that he begins to open up to her about the truth of his past and the pain he’s been hiding.

Suddenly, everything is more complicated than Maisie expected. And as she helps John untangle his shattered history, she must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart to help heal his. But in a world devastated by war, love might be the only thing left that can begin to heal what’s broken.

A fascinating fictional account of lumberjills!

A fascinating fictional account of lumberjills!
After reading “Wait for Me” by Caroline Leech at the request of a friend, I decided to check out her second historical fiction book!I found the storyline to be absolutely fascinating! The book takes place during World War II in Scotland and revolves around the lumberjacks and lumberjills that contributed to the war effort. I had no idea lumberjills even existed and I wish that history courses spent more time discussing the contributions made by women to support their countries.Another element of the book I appreciated was the strong main character developed by Caroline Leech. Maisie decided to join the lumberjills in order to be more independent after butting heads with her father. Despite the internal struggles she faced, she persevered through lumberjill training. I think Maisie is a great character that many young girls can and should look up to!The book also presents a good depiction of PTSD that many soldiers were diagnosed with at the end of the war, which provides important representation.I definitely recommend this to lovers of historical romance and historical fiction! I can’t wait to see what else Caroline Leech has in store for future works!Jess Approved?: ✓

I enjoyed Caroline Leech’s first book, Wait for Me, and I was happy to see she has another book out and this one did not disappoint. I love the relationships between the women, lumberjills, and the romantic relationship. This historical fiction was lovely and hard to put down. You get sucked into the story immediately. A must read!

I enjoyed learning a bit about contributions to the war effort by women in Scotland. A story about friendship and love during those difficult years will leave you falling in love with the characters yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't stop thinking about it.
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019
The contributions of women - throughout history - are so thoroughly ignored, that it's a pleasure to come across a novel which beautifully fictionalizes a piece of history precious few are aware of.

Ms. Leech painted a wonderfully vivid picture of the transition from girl to woman, from novice to expert, from observer to participant. Through her prose we feel the ache of exertion, the frustration of loss, and the frailty of burgeoning emotion.

This book was an unexpected surprise, and I look forward to reading more from this talented chronicler of history.

It certainly held my interest during this pandemic. Some substance but certainly not the best historical fiction I have read.

Caroline Leech has done it again. Finding a piece of WWII history that isn’t often told and pulling us in with wonderful, nuanced, and beloved characters that we don’t want to let go. I adored this book and can’t wait for more from Caroline Leech. Brilliant. A perfect holiday/winter read for anyone looking for adventure, friendship, romance, and history.

Go back in time with Maisie McCall, a limberjill from Scotland doing her part during World War ll. I’m a big fan of WWII based stories and this one did not disappoint! Written for young adults, this book would appeal from teenagers on up.
