If I wanted to study medicine,

it would have to be done in secret.

The last thing eighteen-year-old Wilhelmina “Willa” MacCarthy wants
is to be a nun. It’s 1936, and as the only daughter amongst four sons,
her Irish–Catholic family is counting on her to take her vows—but
Willa’s found another calling. Each day she sneaks away to help Doctor
Katherine Winston in her medical clinic in San Francisco’s Richmond
District. ACROSS A BROKEN SHORE

Keeping secrets from her family only becomes more complicated when
Willa agrees to help the doctor at a field hospital near the new bridge
being built over the Golden Gate. Willa thinks she can handle her new
chaotic life, but as she draws closer to a dashing young ironworker
and risks grow at the bridge, she discovers that hiding from what she
truly wants may be her biggest lie of all.

“A touching, richly rendered look at San Francisco in the 1930s and the
delicate pull between duty and dreams.”

—Emily Bain Murphy, author of The Disappearances

“Everyone should be so lucky to have a Wilhelmina MacCarthy in their lives. AMY
I enjoyed experiencing the growth and transformation of this kindhearted,
courageous, and spirited character thatŒAmyŒTrueblood so expertly brings
to life on the page.” TRUEBL

—Jenni L. Walsh, author ofŒBecoming Bonnie O
