Out of brutal necessity, Danny has steeled himself against the trials and horrors of war, but he is completely unprepared to meet the love of his life in war-torn France. <p/>Audrey Poulin has the soul of an artist. She lives alone with her grandmother in the quiet French countryside, where her only joy is in her brush and palette. When, by chance, she encounters Danny, the handsome young soldier captures her heart and inspires her painting. The young lovers believe that only together can they face the hardships the war brings. <p/>But love is just the beginning. Mere months later, Danny is gravely wounded at the Battle of the Somme, and his future is thrown into uncertainty. Soon, he and Audrey find themselves struggling to build a new life in Halifax, a city grieving its lost men. As the grey winter of 1917 sets in, Danny's lack of purpose and Audrey's isolation continue to mount, pulling the two apart just as a new catastrophe threatens their existence. <p/>Heartrending and enthralling, <i>Tides of Honour</i> is a novel of love and second chances set against Halifax's most devastating moment of the First World War.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A moving Maritime story of love, loss, and the human spirit."--Lesley Crewe, author of Relative Happiness and Kin<br><br>"Audrey is a strong female character, a hallmark of Graham's books."-- "The Chronicle Herald"<br><br>"Evocative of place and time, a novel blending tragedy and triumph in a poignant and uplifting tale that's sure to leave its mark upon your heart."--Susanna Kearsley, New York Times and Globe and Mail bestselling author<br><br>"Fans of Gabaldon and other historical fiction/romance writers will lap this up for the classy, fast-moving, easy-to-read and absorbing book that it is--with some Canadian history to boot."-- "Winnipeg Free Press"<br><br>"Genevieve Graham has created a memorable story of love surviving devastation.
