Three Generations of Blue
A Space Fleet Family SagaBy Josephine Lockhart
Length7h 36m
About this audiobook
Three women. Three wars. One family that never learned how to stop serving. Admiral Vera Hawthorn won the Cinder War and lost everything she cannot name out loud. Her daughter Maren came home from the Glass War with a captaincy, a scar she keeps covered, and a daughter she raised mostly by screen light. Now Lila, twenty-two and two weeks out of the academy, has orders to ship into the Vex War, a conflict her grandmother and mother never imagined and cannot prepare her for. At the family's last reunion on Gus Hawthorn's farm, past and present finally sit at the same table. Vera's old decisions have names that still walk around. Maren's choices are buried in a file even she has stopped opening. And Lila is asking the one question neither of them wants to answer: what did the fleet take from you, and was it worth it? Over three days of rain, old feuds, and a bottle of Gus's worst plum brandy, the Hawthorn women trade truths. Some land like orders. Some land like forgiveness. And when Lila ships out, she carries more than their names. A novel about service, mothers, daughters, and the cost of the blue uniform, for readers who love quiet wars fought at kitchen tables.
