In the midst of World War II, four extraordinary Black women find their paths converging in the groundbreaking 6888th Central Postal Battalion - the first all-Black, all-female unit to serve overseas. Sadie Lewis joins the WACs haunted by visions and the loss of her beloved husband Andrew, her gift of second sight both a blessing and a curse. Vibrant country girl Sammy Love Bonnet seeks adventure far from her Alabama farm, only to find unexpected love in a complicated situation. Single mother Paige Thomas enlists hoping to secure a better future for her teenage son, while former Broadway actress Cleopatra Laurier dreams of proving herself in a world that refuses to see past the color of her skin.

Under the inspiring leadership of Major Clarissa Dixon, these women unite to tackle an impossible mission: processing millions of pieces of backlogged mail in war-torn Britain. But as they confront discrimination, personal losses, and the horrors of war, they discover something more powerful than prejudice - an unshakeable bond of sisterhood that will change their lives forever.

This novel weaves together themes of love, loss, friendship, and courage, offering an intimate glimpse into one of World War II's most overlooked yet remarkable units. Through sacrifice, determination, and unwavering faith in each other, these pioneering women prove that they are not just equal to the task - they are essential to the war effort and the future they dare to dream of building.
