About this listen
From the bestselling author of Under a Gilded Moon comes the soaring story of an unlikely friendship of three men and one extraordinary woman and the legacy they built—if their own secrets don’t destroy it.
In the midst of World War II, a Tennessee farm boy, a Jewish Cambridge student, and a German POW forge a connection that endures—against all odds.
But now everything that Will Dobbins, Dov Silverberg, and Hans Hessler fought for is at risk as their descendants clash for control of the corporation they founded together. In an attempt to remake its tattered corporate image, the firm hires event planner Hadley Jacks and her sister Kitzie to organize a reunion for the families on St. Simons Island, Georgia, the place that changed all three men’s lives forever.
As Hadley and her sister delve into the friends’ past, they uncover the life of the courageous young woman who links them all together…and the old wounds that could tear everything apart.
Told in dual timelines spanning World War II and the present, Echoes of Us follows the ripple effects of war, the bonds that outlast it, and the hope that ultimately carries us forward.

Critic reviews
“Very well-researched, with authentic details expertly woven into the plot, characters, and theme…Readers will ultimately be delighted with the unfolding plot, pace of action, and surprise ending. Recommended reading.”—Historical Novels Review
“Raising a work of 20th Century historical fiction to an impressive level of literary [excellence], Echoes of Us by novelist Joy Jordan-Lake is an inherently interesting and memorable read from start to finish.”—Midwest Book Review
“I’m someone who devours big, epic books, and Joy Jordan-Lake’s Echoes of Us takes her readers to the next level. This sweeping dual timeline novel, set in Saint Simons Island, Georgia, during WWII and the present day, has all the jewels that historical fiction lovers crave: love, loss, secrets, sacrifices, insurmountable courage, a strong protagonist ahead of her time, and, of course (my fave)—a richly entangled love story that claws at the heartstrings and spans decades. Masterful, daring, and unputdownable, Jordan-Lake’s gripping new novel soars.”—Lisa Barr, New York Times bestselling author of Woman on Fire

An enlightening and heartwarming story. I loved it!
History woven into a beautiful story of WWII bravery, fear and love. Whilst it is romantic, the umfairnof the times only further cements my gratitude at being born now and although we still have challenges, I hope we continue to move forward.
I loves this book, so refreshing and shocking in equal measure.
