About this ebook
They lost each other once before; now the clouds of war may give them a second chance.
As teenagers, Delia Byrne and Finn Delaney fell in love while flying kites and dreaming of a future together--until betrayal tore them apart. Now, as America enters World War I, Delia works for peace as a paralegal and pacifist. Her values forbid her from supporting the war effort, but she volunteers for a relief organization trying to save millions of lives in famine-stricken Belgium.
Returning to America as a decorated war hero, Finn is eager to get back to the front but is assigned to use his fame to raise funds instead. To his surprise, this mission will bring him face-to-face with Delia, the only woman he ever loved and once hoped to marry. As their shared mission draws them together, old sparks of romance begin to stir--until duty sends them behind enemy lines in occupied Belgium. Will the greatest danger be the conflict raging around them--or the possibility of falling in love again?

All the love for this sweeping WWI epic! Beyond the Clouds grabbed my heart & didn’t let go. I’ve loved the Women of Midtown series, & this touching conclusion is the perfect capstone. Elizabeth Camden delivers a brilliant, swoon-worthy childhood friends-to-enemies-to-second-chance romance, rich with fascinating historical detail & a heroic story of sacrifice, courage, & faith. Highly recommend! Though part of a series, it’s easily read as a standalone but may contain spoilers for previous books
