(For Sana Toledo, the year 1939 promised only a boring job in her uncle s grocery store and an arranged marriage to an older man. But she changes her fate when she runs away to what she hopes is 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 cost 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. Review: Glowing with romance, rich in scope, a dazzling rendition WANDA LITTLES, author of Come Sunday Morning
