Product Description
Book 2 of Daughters of Fortune. Somewhere a Song opens the day after Pearl Harbor as the daughters of newspaper tycoon Keegan Hayes suffer the aftermath on three different continents—journalist Cameron Hayes in Moscow, searching for the half-brother she’s never met; Jackie in California, dangerously aligning herself with the Japanese community; and Blair in Manila, desperately seeking the whereabouts of her estranged army officer husband even as she is caught up in the terror of war. The trauma each woman experiences threatens to further drive a wedge in the Hayes family. Is there hope when the world’s at war?

 Love it! October 4, 2007
Blair and Gary had became my favorite characters in this book and I just amazed how they fought to survive in the Philippines. Cameron was my second favorite and Jackie is my third. I had a hard time connecting with Jackie for some reasons. I believe any reader would be able to connect with some characters at some point that they can relate to their own life. I've never had to fight to survived in a jungle but I believe I was amazed with Blair and Gary because I know that could be my biggest weakness when it comes to my faith in God. I really felt like I was there with them. What a great book!
 Lies, betrayal, war + characters you care about = Lovely Book June 15, 2006
Blair lied, that's no great spoiler, but it is a bomb when it comes to her life. She follows her estranged husband, Gary, to the Phillipines to see if they can piece together their lives. Blair - the movie star, singer, actress - is soon gonna have to learn to rough it in the jungles but for now God's gently easing her into a harder life.
Cameron's still off chasing stories and falling in love. Yes, the practical one goes against all good sense for the sake of her heart. How troublingly romantic....and this is one romance bound to get her in big trouble. The poor woman will no doubt learn to hate telegrams as well...seems every other one she gets is another piece of fabric being ripped violently from her life.
Jacki's also in love. But the color of her love's skin will be big trouble for both of them. Doesn't matter that Sam is a bonafide American citizen. Being Japanese in America around this time in history is not so safe.
Throw in a few family disasters and such and it's all good.
Excellent Series June 18, 2004

I love historical fiction, and this is just a great series taking place in World War II, from the perspective of three sisters strategically placed in three areas of the world in the midst of the chaos of this war. To see history from the perspective of people living through this time was very special. I'm now reading book 3, and the series continues with excellent writing, characters, and story.
Second book in a great series February 1, 2004

"Somewhere a Song" by Judith Pella is the second book in the "Daughters of Fortune" Series. This book mainly focus on Blair, the middle daughter and her struggles of finding her faith, while facing the possiblitly of being a POW on the Philiippines. While I moved by her journey, there were times I wonder if it was real. Older sister Cameron, also finds her faith while working in Soviet Union. Younger sister Jackie remains at home, deepening her relationship with fellow Christian Japanese-American Sam, who is facing hatred since the bombing. I found Jackie story to be the most interesting, due to the fact that few war-time setting deal with the treatment of Japanese-Americans.
But Overall, "Somewhere a Song" should not be missed.
Another Great Book by Pella! January 28, 2004
I have to say I was a little skeptical about the 2nd book in the Daughters of Fortune series because I liked the first one so much! But it lived up to my expectations. I became completely involved with Blair's story this time. She was such a spoiled brat in the first one but I grew to like her. Being in the middle of a war sure changes peoples outlooks on life. I'm just hoping the 3rd one lives up to my expectations as well
