From the author of Triage and Searching for Augusta comes a captivating history of love, hate, jealousy, and revenge between brothers and sisters across ages, set against the backdrop of war. Delve into remarkable accounts of parents who willingly sent their sons and daughters off to the frontline, never knowing if they would ever see them again. One mother, in particular, witnessed the deployment of ten of her sons between the ages of eighteen and thirty-seven during the First World War.

In a remarkable twist of fate, British police uncovered the body of a deceased woman known as the "Crazy Cat Lady." As they searched her belongings, they discovered a small bundle that held a truly extraordinary tale of two remarkable sisters who served as elite Special Operations Agents (SOE) during World War II.

These sisters, with their exceptional skills and unwavering determination, defied the odds and risked their lives to protect their country and allies. Their bravery and ingenuity were instrumental in numerous missions behind enemy lines, where they faced countless challenges and dangers.

Through their stories, we gain a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary women and the sacrifices they made for the greater good. Their unwavering loyalty and commitment to their cause inspire us to remember the resilience and heroism of those who have served in times of war.

As we reflect on the history of these families and the conflicts they have endured, we are reminded of the profound impact that war can have on individuals and communities. It serves as a reminder of the importance of peace, understanding, and the value of preserving the bonds of family amidst adversity.

In conclusion, Triage and Searching for Augusta offers a captivating journey through time, shedding light on the complex relationships between brothers and sisters, and the enduring power of love, hate, jealousy, and revenge in the face of war. Through these remarkable stories, we gain a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices made by those who have served and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
