From the cover...From England torn by class strife to Europe chilled by the winds of Fascism, from the gilded decadence of 1930s Paris to battlefields of the Spanish Civil War. THE WHITE DOVE sweeps across a vast dramatic canvas-and into the lives of people you will never forget...Young heiress Amy Lovell has seen her glittering social world entrap her older sister and sweep her brother into a scandal that could ruin their father. Desperate for a life of substance, Amy defiantly renounces her aristocratic heritage for the rigors of a nursing career-and for the love of Welsh miner Nick Penry, a radical union organizer. But the bonds of love and rebellion that united them will thrust them into the heart of a conflict that will forever change the world-and their lives.
