(image for) 5 of 5 Stars5 of 5 Stars Barbara M. Britton has made a complete departure from her fantastic biblical series with her newest release, UNTIL JUNE. Set in post WWI Alaska, Geoff, the gravely wounded son of a wealthy mine owner needs a caretaker. The Spanish flu is ravaging the lower states. With Geoff’s health already in jeopardy, he needs to be secluded. The family approaches Josephine, a seamstress who is scraping by to make ends meet for her mother and sister. When approached by the mine owner to take on the job of Geoff’s caretaker, she hesitates. It’s hardly appropriate for a single young woman to be alone on a remote island with a single young man for nearly a year. Two things weigh in favor of accepting the position—the high salary, and the fact that a man who is missing both feet will hardly pose a danger to Jo’s innocence. Surely, she can last until June. But once deposited at the lodge alone with Geoff, Josephine questions the wisdom of her choice. No amount of money could be worth the trial of caring for an ornery man who seems to be determined to die. It will take a monumental effort to endure until June for both of them. Britton’s story is unflinching in its honest portrayal of the painful physical and emotional journey wounded veterans face every day. This is the kind of book you want to read again and again.
