ABOUT THE BOOK: Wanting to "make a difference," young Iris Amory joins the Red Cross as a nurse and finds herself serving in a hospital over in France during World War I. Iris gets her heart broken open -- once or twice (at least) -- by it all and is transformed by the horror around her, becoming a strong, compassionate woman and an inspiration to Dawn Kailey, the young journalist she tells her story to.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: T.J. Banks has received writing awards from the Cat Writers’ Association, ByLine, and the Writing Self. Her book, Catsong, also won the 2007 Merial Human-Animal Bond Award. In A Time for Shadows, Banks departs from her feline fancy to write a somber romance novel that tugs at readers’ heartstrings and reminds them that love prevails, even in times of great turmoil, chaos, and death.
