Duties and Dreams (Second Chance Book 3)

From the author of THE FOUNTAIN and ANNIE'S APPLE comes a story that spans decades of conflict and change.
As World War I rages in Europe, the Carpenters and the Lees make a home in Southern California. Bill and Cassie add to their family. Andy and Annie start one of their own. Paul, a bachelor, enters the world of business. All find peace in a turbulent time. Then draft notices arrive, illness strikes a child, and life for two intertwined families takes a troubling turn.
Years later, Emilie Perot, a beautiful resistance fighter, and Steve and Shannon Taylor, an American couple with ties to Paul Carpenter, conspire to escape Nazi occupation. Each seeks freedom and a new life in France's Vosges Mountains, home of a legendary fountain of youth that can restore health and send visitors through time.
As events unfold in the different eras, the participants march on. All are unaware of the forces that seem determined to throw them together.
