Anne, the American Woman (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798591363420)

Anne, the skinny ten-year-old Chinese girl who arrived in America in 1930 has grown up. She's married to wealthy San Francisco businessman, Mr. Charles Flannery, but his weren't the only eyes she looked into when saying her vows. She's in love with two extraordinary Americans. With Anne's return visits to China, Flannery Industries recruits eighty-six young girl workers before the attack on Pearl Harbor comes. They make uniforms for all branches of the military while being educated at the school Charles has built.Everything is fairy-tale perfect until an unexpected pregnancy causes problems in the marriage. To get away, Anne follows her lover to St. Louis and enters training to be a nurse. She's not living alone, but every day is a challenge and the war news is often depressing. With Charles's housekeeper, Gloria, acting as an intermediary, Anne agrees to occasional conversations with her estranged husband and is surprised when he shows up at her graduation. She still cares for him, but how will things be now that she has proven to everyone she can make it on her own?
