I’ve known Gen Graham for several years, and have read her Halifax Explosion book, TIDES OF HONOUR, twice. I am so honoured that she gave this an advance read and also honoured to call her a friend. 
She has been so generous to me as I venture into historical fiction territory!
Eliza Knight is one of my favorite historical fiction authors, and she sent along her thoughts about WHEN THE WORLD FELL SILENT:“WHEN THE WORLD WENT SILENT is a richly detailed look into the lives of women on the home front during WWI, and how their lives were irrevocably changed following a tragic ship collision that resulted in an explosion in the Halifax Harbour Narrows. Donna Alward has penned a stunning historical fiction debut you don’t want to miss. A fascinating tale of resilience!” ~Eliza Knight, USA Today and international bestselling author of Starring Adele Astaire
