I happened across this book while purposefully seeking out authors I had never read. Expecting too little, I suppose, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself intrigued from the beginning. Still the skeptic, I reasoned the narrative would flag and I would probably begin to see weaknesses in dial...
My first of Sarah Sundin and an absolutely amazing plot. I like books set back in the days, and the story of the war made it even more real and exciting. From a world of wealth with no thorough knowledge of God and his love, to a world of simplicity and Christ's true love all meshed and obtained ...

3.5-4 StarsI like this book the best of the "Wings of Glory" series mostly because I liked the couple's interaction, each of their backstories, and their personalities didn't annoy me as much as the others. These books are formulaic - the writer basically tells similar stories with different char...
“You look absolutely gorgeous.”“Thank you.” Mellie had turned out to be as innocent as her pure white gown. Kay had confronted her, and Mellie told the whole story. Over a year before, she’d stumbled upon Vera and Maxwell kissing, but they’d threatened her into silence. When the threat resolved, ...
She headed past the Muster House on her way to work in the unseasonably warm morning sunshine. The newspapers forecasted a record high for today. If only it were still June, with Jim in Boston and Quintessa in Chicago. Mary scrunched up her nose. What a selfish thought. Wh...
While the Allies crossed under machine-gun fire eleven days earlier, Hutch rode in a jeep, turned in the front seat to face Lucia. Her litter was strapped across the backseat, while two more litters were strapped on the hood, a makeshift ambulance. The 93rd would be the first Allied hospital on t...
