Engaged in War

French Letters; Engaged in War, is the second book in the French Letters Trilogy. The companion to Virginia's War, it is the story of Will Hastings, an army doctor caught up in the D-Day landings in Normandy and the drive to capture St. Lo, France. Isolated from Virginia Sullivan and the events taking place at home, Will faces the demands of combat surgery under fire and the losses of his brother, his friends, and his connection to home. Historically accurate and precise and covering events from exactly the same time frame as the events in the first volume, Engaged in War is a novel of the will to survive when war, distance, loss, and the uncertainty of the future separate a couple far beyond the breaking point. London won the Military Writers' Society of America's Author of the Year Award for Engaged in War. Engaged in War also won Honorable Mention in the 2011 London Book Festival.
