My Portion Forever

Orphaned four years earlier and sent to live in the United States, 17 year old Sana Toledo lost her security, happiness, and hope. The year was 1939. Her future promised nothing but the monotony of working in her uncle’s grocery store and a loveless, arranged marriage to an older man. Her fate changed, however, when she ran away to what she imagined was freedom: nursing school, and the Army. Joe Vesely, who wanted to marry Sana more than anything else on earth, enlists to escape the disappointment of losing her. They meet again on a troopship in the Atlantic, poised at the edge of an epic conflict that will either destroy their lives or fulfill their hearts’ desires. From the United States to Great Britain, through the desert of Algeria to the bloody hills of Kasserine, Sana’s and Joe’s paths cross, separate and reconnect … and halfway across the Sahara, Sana must face her shameful past and the chance of losing love again, along with her very soul. Set against the volatile backdrop of a rarely told true story, My Portion Forever sweeps the reader into the delight of romance, the terror of war, and the hope that sustains when all else fails.
