My Wounded Hero

A young nurse and a wounded, reluctant American soldier – Will they find each other in the midst of the Second World War?

Adrianna is a beautiful, curvy seventeen-year-old girl, living a carefree life with her parents and her brothers. Until the worst happens, her parents die.

Her world comes crashing down as she is the only person her young brothers can look up to. The war, which had seemed so distant, edges closer as Naples gets bombed over and over again. There’s heavy fighting in nearby Naples and Adrianna knows that she must take care of her brothers and flee the village they know as their home.

Father Stefano in the monastery welcomes them and Adrianna slowly adapts to a life amongst nuns, so much so that she decides that her calling is to be a nun.

That is, until Major Sidney, a wounded American soldier arrives for treatment. She immediately falls in love with him, having feelings that are in contrast with her desire to become a novice nun. The Major does not reciprocate her feelings and Adrianna is at a loss over what her future holds.

This is a story about love during the war and obstacles that must be overcome for two people to love each other.
