If I Were You

Audrey Barrett is living the good life in the United States, trying to put the horrors of the London Blitz behind her and raise her young son. Everything is just as she dreamed it could be, until the real Audrey Barrett shows up and demands to know why her former best friend stole her identity. Moving backward in time from 1950, Austin (Where We Belong; “Refiner’s Fire” series) delivers another stunning historical saga of hardship and desire in wartime. The friendship between Audrey and her scullery maid, Eve Dawson, was always overshadowed by the strict class structure of early 20th-century England, but when both girls sign up to be ambulance drivers in the war, the lines of tradition began to blur. Through it all, each girl struggles to hold on to her faith and find her place in a brave new world.
