Till the World Is Safe for Dreams — Fleeta Cunningham

A lot of dreams were put on hold when the bombs hit Pearl Harbor, including Kay and Jeremy's wedding plans. Now he's half a world away, injured, and Kay is hiding her worry about his wounds from her meddlesome grandmother and aunts, who disregard the realities of war and are determined to plan a fairytale wedding. Kay is carrying on, spending her days in a war plant, forging bonds with other women who worry and wait. Then she receives the news that Jeremy's injuries are serious, life threatening. Will he come back? If he does, will he be the same? Will the world ever be safe for dreams?
