Captain Lucy in France: Excerpt: `To those who made friends with Lucy Gordon on Governors Island it will seem a great change to find her, in this second story, so far away from home. She is only one of thousands, though, to whom a few months of the great war brought more changes than they ever thought could be crowded into a lifetime. Lucy can look back over less than a year to her old life at the army post in New York Harbor before the Colonel was ordered overseas. To that brief summer time when the Gordon family was united during her brother Bobs West Point graduation leave, and to the dark days of the winter of 1917 when Bob was in a German prison. Even then Lucy never lost hope, and her brave confidence was gloriously rewarded with Bobs freedom. But in those dreadful weeks of waiting she outgrew her childhood, as though even in that pleasant home on Governors Island she knew that peace and content could never come back to her and to those she loved until America had fired her final shot at Germanys crumbling lines. She could not guess what lay before her,what old friends she was to meet again in strange new places. Yet she had resolved, even before she had any hope of crossing to the other side, that, come what might, she would serve in her own way as steadfastly as her father served, as valiantly as Bob.`, Englisch, Ebook.
