Mariella yearns for a new life. When she meets Jack, an American GI visiting Rome, they only have one day before he ships off to Japan. Will they find their way back to each other and rekindle their love?

War has forced 15-year-old Mariella to grow up too quickly. She is denied an education and obligated to care for her siblings while a horrific childhood tragedy haunts her. Adding to her misery, the Germans occupy Rome, and starvation, brutality, and fear have become the norm.

Then she meets Jack, a kind American soldier with an endearing smile, and suddenly, a bright future seems possible. Despite the language barrier, they share meaningful connections. They have the same scars.

But the next day, Jack is shipped off to Japan. Although they promise to keep in touch, both know things will change. Is their blossoming love destined to die just as it begins? Or will Mariella and Jack find their way back to each other?

Greetings from Asbury Park is a gripping, romantic, and emotional novel that explores the Nazi occupation of Rome, the struggles of family, and how fate plays a role in love.

Order your copy today and join Mariella on her journey of sacrifice, redemption, and the pursuit of true love.

The virtual voice was fairly good. I recommend this book... The focus on family and traditions was compelling; and the history of WW2 set in Italy was well done. The characters were well developed and memorable.

enjoyable story
