Babe throws like a boy, thinks for herself, and never expects to escape the poor section of her quiet Massachusetts town. Then World War II breaks out, and everything changes. Her friend Grace, married to a reporter on the local paper, fears being left alone with her infant daughter when her husband ships out; Millie, the third member of their childhood trio, now weds the boy who always refused to settle down; and Babe wonders if she should marry Claude, who even as a child could never harm a living thing. As the war rages abroad, life on the home front undergoes its own battles and victories; and when the men return, and civilian life resumes, nothing can go back to quite the way it was.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e From","brand":"Random House USA Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49527886020951,"sku":"9780812982411","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780812982411.jpg?v=1731869604","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/next-to-love-9780812982411","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
