They come from two separate worlds. Can their love endure?
London, 1963. Marian Barnard may have lost her family, but nothing can steal her hope for the future. Struggling to make ends meet, the young waitress draws strength from the Kennedy-led era of optimism. So when her very own American knight sweeps her off her feet, her dreams seem to come true…
US Army Lieutenant Marc Gaines would risk everything for freedom. From his French Resistance fighter mother, he learned the true cost of liberty. But he’s smitten by the young waitress and he knows his rich mother will never approve.
The happy couple plan for wedding bells. But with each new milestone, his mother’s fanatical opposition darkens like the war clouds gathering over Vietnam.
Will Marian and Marc’s love survive long enough to start a life together, or will hostile forces tear them apart?
Or will Jacqueline finally meet her match in the end?
ALL BECAUSE OF HER is a deeply touching romantic suspense novel. If you like sweeping family sagas, emotional ups and downs, and tenacious casts of characters, then you’ll love Gretta Curran Browne’s multi-generation epic.

ALL BECAUSE OF HER by Gretta Curran Browne is an epic story that spans forty-four years, the class divide between an aristocratic family and a young woman brought up in an orphanage, and the countries of France, America, England, Vietnam, and Sweden. It is a story of obsession – passionate love of people and power, greed and immorality, and implacable, unforgiving hatred. It opens in Paris, a beautiful city despoiled by conquering Nazis, with the sixteen-year-old daughter of a wealthy jeweler, Philippe Castineau. Jacqueline, dressed as a boy and pretending idiocy, joins the French Resistance and kills without mercy. Married, she lives for her son, Marc, whom she sees as a true Castineau.
Steeped in literature as one might expect of writers and publishers, invaded by the music of each decade, and gloriously multicultural, Ghosts in Sunlight is the book out of countless thousands I have read that made me, like Phil, answer when asked how I wanted my coffee, say “in peace”. Time after time, I guessed what was coming, and sometimes I was right and sometimes shockingly wrong, but I had to know. The pace is unforgiving, every character strides through the pages alive, vivid, and believable, and the plot is flawless – a superbly written whole.
