For All The World

Description

For All the World – When the Curtain Rises, Even War Takes a Backseat In the shadow of a world torn apart, four young people dare to dream. Peter Cullen, a penniless Dubliner with buckets of charm, big plans and nerves of steel. May Gallagher, her parents' plans for her weighing heavily as she wrenches free of expectation. Nick Gerrity, a man running from a terrible destiny, his past lurking around every corner. Aida Gonzales, adrift in the wreckage of war, grasping at an unexpected lifeline. As the ashes of the Great War still smoulder, these four unlikely allies find themselves seduced by the call of the stage. In a world where an entire generation has been lost to mud and blood, they choose sequins and spotlights, and refuse to be dictated to by the older generation anymore. But the price of following your heart in 1918 comes steep. Will Peter's raw talent be enough to lift him from the gutters of Dublin? Can May break free without breaking her family? Is Nick truly ready to face the music of his past? And will Aida's newfound hope withstand the harsh realities of a continent in chaos? From the smoke-filled pubs of Ireland to the glittering theaters of London, "For All the World" ignites a dazzling new series that proves the show must go on, even when the world outside has gone dark. From USA Today bestselling author Jean Grainger comes a tale of grit, glamour, and the unbreakable spirit of those who dare to dream.
