Thank you Simon and Schuster and EPH Marketing for this gifted copy.

I just received the best book mail! 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗱 arrived on my doorstep and I’m beyond thrilled to dive into what is sure to be a beautiful story full of emotion.

Last year I fell in love with Graham’s work of historical fiction, 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮. It was such a unique WWII story, full of characters that stayed with me, and I devoured every page (read it!). Therefore, I know her latest story will have me hooked once again!

𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: Present day

Cassie Simmons, a museum curator, is enthusiastic about solving mysteries from the past, and she has a personal interest in the history of the rumrunners who ferried illegal booze across the Detroit River during Prohibition. So when a cache of whisky labeled Bailey Brothers’ Best is unearthed during a local home renovation, Cassie hopes to find the answers she’s been searching for about the legendary family of bootleggers...

1918

Corporal Jeremiah Bailey of the 1st Canadian Tunnelling Company is tasked with planting mines in the tunnels beneath enemy trenches. After Jerry is badly wounded in an explosion, he finds himself in a Belgium field hospital under the care of Adele Savard, one of Canada’s nursing sisters, nicknamed “Bluebirds” for their blue gowns and white caps. As Jerry recovers, he forms a strong connection with Adele, who is from a place near his hometown of Windsor, along the Detroit River. In the midst of war, she’s a welcome reminder of home, and when Jerry is sent back to the front, he can only hope that he’ll see his bluebird again.

By war’s end, both Jerry and Adele return home to Windsor, scarred by the horrors of what they endured overseas. When they cross paths one day, they have a chance to start over. But the city is in the grip of Prohibition, which brings exciting opportunities as well as new dangerous conflicts that threaten to destroy everything they have fought for.

From the pages of history, a compelling, luminous novel about the strength of the human spirit and the power of love.
