Missing Quail Crossings
Quail Crossings Series #3
Historical Fiction
October 2015
World War II is finally over and Dovie
Grant is thrilled that her loved ones, who have been fighting overseas, are
finally coming home. The first to return is her long time love, Gabe Pearce.
The happiness of their reunion is cut short when Gabe tells Dovie that Evalyn
Smith’s husband, Robert, is missing in action.
Even with Robert missing, there is a ray
of light when Elmer Brewer, Evalyn’s brother, returns to Quail Crossings with
his long time girl and now wife Mary (Tiny) Clark. During a celebration of their
nuptials, a surprise guest arrives, the Brewer’s long lost sister, Ellie. Dovie,
her father, James, and the Brewers take Ellie in without hesitation, hoping to
start the healing process for Ellie.
Poor Ellie, abandoned at birth, bounced
from one family to family after her adoptive family died, facing situations so
horrible she now refuses to speak. As Ellie deals with a lifetime of abuse,
Elmer adjusts to life off the battlefield, and Evalyn aches for her lost love, Dovie
is quickly realizing that the Germans may have surrendered but the war at home
is just beginning.
