Some battles of war are fought on the Homefront by those left behind. Hope Springs has a secret–the waters mysteriously uplift the spirits of whoever drinks them. When the town's young men depart to fight in WWII, tragedy strikes. Grief dilutes the waters unique effects, and hiding the village away from the world may provide shelter from the pain—but at what cost? Preoccupied with honoring their loved ones' memories, five shattered women struggle to gather strength to overcome their loss, and find hope again. In the small fictional town of Weeping Women Springs, New Mexico, five women share the stories of their lives on the home front during World War II and the Korean Conflict. Lifelong friends Liv and Ruth are on the precipice of adulthood when Pearl Harbor is attacked. After the unthinkable happens, one will come up with a plan to protect them from further hurt. Their classmate Ruth refuses to remain in town after news of her fiancé arrives from the front. Susie, the little sister, puts her life on hold waiting. Anna sends twin sons to the frontlines, then a third runs off to Korea. The novel is "like finding a scrapbook long hidden" of interviews, letters, journal entries and poems, Weeping Women Springs is "intriguing and mysterious" and a beautifully wrought story" which will make you think long "after you finish it."
