This book is currently in development
This sequel to Found on 16th Avenue introduces Sana Toledo, a young woman who develops a secret love for Joe Vesely. Sana is forced to leave home and join the Army Nurse Corps—only to meet Joe again in 1942 when they are both part of Operation Torch, the first Allied assault on North Africa in World War II.
Joe and Sana, on the eve of battle, impulsively make a pact to stay committed to God no matter what temptations and horrors the war brings. But neither one knows how long and dangerous the war will be and if they can keep their hasty vow . . . or even if they’ll survive to see each other again.
