Stranger in Paradise

Description

Before they became The Greatest Generation, they were young men and women in love . . . The year is 1953 and London is throwing the party of the century. Even though the ravages of World War II are still visible throughout the kingdom, the world is gathering on the Mall to celebrate the coronation of England's beautiful young queen. For almost ten years, journalist Mac Weaver has been far from his New York home. America has changed since the war ended and he wonders if there's still a place for him in the land of backyard barbecues and a new Ford in every driveway. However a chance encounter with beautiful English reporter Jane Townsend is about to change his life forever. As the new monarch waves from the window of her fairy-tale glass coach, a homesick Yank and a lonely Brit fall in love. One week later, Mr. and Mrs. Mac Weaver board the Queen Mary for New York and a guaranteed happily ever after future in the land where dreams come true. But there are dark shadows on the horizon that threaten Mac and Jane's happiness and family scandals that just might tear them apart . . . "This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny." --Franklin Delano Roosevelt
