The Whistle Stop Canteen | Laurie White

2 posts | 1 read

A wartime train station encounter changes a lifetime...After losing her fiancé in WW1, Margaret Parker settled into a quiet, lonely life as the town librarian in North Platte, NE. After the US enters WW2, Margaret volunteers as the historian for the Servicemen’s Canteen organized by the women of North Platte. When Captain Tom Carver strolls into the Canteen, he’s immediately drawn to Maggie and works hard to woo her, via letters, as he heads off to war. While reluctantly falling in love long-distance, Maggie also opens her heart to the teen-aged girl she supervises and the townswomen working beside her, while fearing for the lives of the servicemen and women she meets at the Canteen. When Tom springs a surprise on her, and then winds up MIA, Maggie must come to grips with her fear of another loss. Relying on her new family and friends, she must take a chance on love, if she wants to make a life for herself after the war is over.

This endearing story follows the lives of young women who volunteer their time to provide coffee, sandwiches, magazines, and even birthday cakes to brave soldiers who are traveling to unknown destinations around the world during WWII. The canteen offered acts of kindness and love to young men and women who, the volunteers knew, may never return alive to U.S. soil. The story centers around women who find and share love, friendship, and heartache.
