Listen for the Chickadees by Terri Wangard begins in the Pacific Theater of World War II with the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Gloria serves aboard the hospital ship USS Serenity, tending the wounded who arrive from the front lines.

As their paths cross frequently over the next several years, feelings deepen. Even when oceans and battlefields stand between them, one small signal keeps hope alive.
Their chickadee whistle becomes a quiet promise between them—a reminder that even in the chaos of war, someone is listening and waiting.
