Two lifetime best friends, Lizzie and Sarah, are bound together by love and torn apart by war. The two friends never expected to wake up and find that war, started across the ocean, would change their lives forever. Lizzie and Sarah become even closer when the unexpected challenges of war requires them to rely on each other more than ever. The two best friends have passionate, touching love stories and the fate of their lives take different paths. After Lizzie's love leaves for the war, she finds a second love. Lizzie asks herself, "Am I fickle, or can I really love two men?" Sarah starts a family that is torn apart by the war. The war leads both of them to unexpected encounters and changes their lives forever. With war raging around them, not only must Lizzie and Sarah keep their lives sane, but Lizzie's and Sarah's families are challenged to survive by the ravages of war. "Lizzie An Unlikely Angel" is the work of a compassionate and compelling storyteller. What makes this story of two close friends shaping their families during the harshness of war, is that Catherine Henson, at 94, is writing from personal experience. Only when you have lived through the blackouts, shortages, separation of families, lack of food, and the reality of loved ones not returning from the war, can you understand what families went through during WWII.
