Set In 1919, WW II, The Influenza Epidemic And Flashing To The Present, Nurse Amanda Starkey Has Found The Daily Encounters Of War Torn Soldiers Unravelling Her Mentally,Physically And Emotionally. She Returns To The Home That She Long Ago Ran From. Only There To Be Reminded Of Her Deep Dark Secret. Showcasing Sibling Rivalrey, Buried Family Secrets, Obsessed Lost Loves And The Strengths Of Two Sisters, DROWNING RUTH Is A Must Summer Read. I Could Not Put This Book Down.
