While You Were Mine

By: Ann Howard Creel

Narrated by: Carly Robins

Everything she loved could so easily be lost.

The end of World War II should have brought joy to Gwen Mullen. But on V-J Day, her worst fear is realized. As celebrating crowds gather in Times Square, a soldier appears on her doorstep to claim Mary, the baby abandoned to Gwen one year earlier. Suddenly Gwen is on the verge of losing the child she has nurtured and loves dearly.

With no legal claim to Mary, Gwen begins to teach Lieutenant John McKee how to care for his child, knowing that he will ultimately take Mary away. What starts as a contentious relationship, however, turns into something more, and Gwen must open her heart to learn that love means taking chances.

While You Were Mine paints a vivid portrait of 1940s New York and tells an enchanting tale of the nature of love and trust.

Cute WWll story

I loved the history and romance aspect. Good story line too. Predictable ending.

cute

the story is a little slow and tedious as times. but I always enjoy a happy ending

I loved the narrator. I could hear her just fine.

Can’t stand the narrator

I won’t do the audiobook version of her books again with the same narrator. whenever the character is upset or scared, or the narrator is doing a male voice, it’s very screechy, makes the character sound both unstable and negative — and the male characters sound whiney

The historical fiction is nice and if you’re interested in a romantic family sort of drama it’s got. It’s twist and turns it’s fine.

real story

the real story about the mixed results in soldiers after World War 2 and the family who loves them. Enjoyed listening during my commute.

Narrator

I enjoyed the story line and the time period of the story. The narrator whispered some of time and could not be heard. Otherwise she was good.
