But the American dream proves elusive-she is struck with polio, and then shocked by the sudden death of her GI husband. Without a spouse or the child she so desperately wanted, Ursula must rely on her shrewd survival skills from wartime Berlin, and she takes in a boarder to help make ends meet. She soon falls in love with the Argentinean medical technician living in her spare bedroom, but his devotion to communism troubles her-and when she finds herself pregnant with his child, she is faced with a dilemma: how to reconcile her dream of motherhood with an America that is so different from what she imagined"-- |cProvided by publisher. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 650 0 War brides|vFiction. 650 0 Husbands|xDeath|vFiction. 650 0 Pregnancy|vFiction. 650 0 Man-woman relationships|vFiction. 651 0 Minneapolis (Minn.)|vFiction. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Domestic fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aKearney, Christine Gallagher.|tWhat we leave behind|dBerkeley, CA : She Writes Press, 2023|z9781647424930 |w(NjBwBT)bl2023024327 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0030293104|zFound on Boundless
