Whispers on the Water - Softcover
Tomboy Grace Tooley meets Rupert Bradley when her eldest brother's sudden death forces her to take on burdens beyond her years. From then on, Grace gives her heart to her brother's wealthy friend, but he sees her as a mere girl and marries a woman from his own station in life.
They meet again when the Great War has changed them both. Grace has suffered loss and pain and emerged as a strong, passionate woman. Rupert, nearly broken by the horrors he has endured, has been humiliated by the bride who once seemed so right for him, and he rejects Grace's love and any hope of future happiness. But Grace is determined to rediscover the spirit of the only boy she ever loved in the man who is ready to die.

About the Author:
Audrey Howard was born in Liverpool in 1929. Before she began to write she had a variety of jobs, among them hairdresser, model, shop assistant, cleaner and civil servant. In 1981, while living in Australia, she wrote the first of her bestselling novels. She lives in St Anne's on Sea, her childhood home.
From AudioFile:
From the sinking of the TITANIC through the end of the WWI, Grace Tooley and her family face nearly unbearable heartache and loss. As brother after brother is killed, Grace falls in love with one man, marries another, and loses her own child. Carole Boyd is the perfect choice to perform this rambling romance as her lovely voice moves lightly through the story. This is not serious literature, and Boyd doesn't treat it as such. Her characterization of Grace shows some excitement in the steamy parts but not enough to cause a blush. Her young children are exuberant without succumbing to squeakiness, and her elderly housekeeper provides the right tone of sharpness tempered with affection.
