***FEATURED ON @HISTORICALFICTION'S READING LIST 'WORLD WARS & REVOLUTIONS'***
    
    For the duration of the Second World War, newlyweds June and Harvey Dougherty played their respective parts. June got a job and raised the couple's twins to the best of her ability; Harvey defended the line overseas and helped lead the Allies to victory on the shores of Omaha Beach and the steps of the French capital. 
    
    But when peace is declared and the men retire their weapons and return home, it's not long before the Doughertys realize that living on the same front is more of a challenge than they could have anticipated. Because in the war, the couple knew what front they were fighting on. 
    
    Together at home? 
    
    Neither can be wholly certain.
