Christine had known Frankie as long as she could remember. Her next door neighbor was also her best friend - after an inseparable childhood, she didn't think twice when he told her they needed to run away. It was the start of the Great Depression, life was hard, but as long as she had Frankie's hand in her own, Christine knew she would be safe. The Labor Day hurricane of 1935 ripped them apart and thrust Christine into a long and lonely journey. She soon found that the world was a dangerous place, and even once reunited with her childhood friend, the confidence that had been stripped from her was slow to rebuilt. It all came crashing back down when World War II threatened to separate them once more. A tale of deep friendship, of fear and love and forgiveness, The Wishing Chain is a mix of fictional characters experiencing historically accurate events and meeting real people from history. In a time when unbelievable true accounts prove that a bond between two people can be stronger than the US is large, Christine and Frankie fight to beat the odds.
