Sheltering Angel of Belleau Wood: A Novel of One Woman's Life After Titanic

The sequel to the bestseller, Sheltering Angel: A Novel Based on a True Story of the Titanic.

After losing her husband Bradley in the Titanic disaster, Florence Cumings' heartache is far from over. Her teenage son Wells is killed in the WWI battle of Belleau Wood while defending France with the Allies. Two decades later, her second husband Chess dies of influenza shortly before her eldest son Jack succumbs to effects from injuries sustained in the Great War.

Now in the midst of WWII, Florence lives alone in New York City until her granddaughter Eva comes to stay with her. When Eva finds letters Jack and Wells wrote while serving in France, ghosts from the past visit both women, and Florence shows Eva how to endure life's greatest challenges with dignity and grace. Like the bestselling novel Sheltering Angel, a novel of the Titanic, Sheltering Angel of Belleau Wood is based on a true story.
