When the flush of victory fades, there remains a winding road to an uncertain future.
World War II is finally over and the people of Rosey Corner are joyfully
welcoming the boys home. The Merritt sisters in particular are looking
toward the future. Kate is eager to start a family and live out her
dream of happily ever after with Jay. Evangeline craves a beautiful
house and encourages Mike to pastor a big-town church. Victoria wants
what can never be. And Lorena is growing up and wondering more and more
about her birth family.
Each sister must learn to hold her plans with a loose hand, trusting
that God will guide and strengthen them as they share the joys and
sorrows of life in their little corner of the world.
Award-winning and bestselling author Ann Gabhart invites you back to
Rosey Corner for a heartfelt story that closes the distance between the
things that were and things that can yet be.
Ann H. Gabhart is the bestselling author of Angel Sister, Small Town Girl, and Words Spoken True, as well as several Shaker novels--The Outsider, The Believer, The Seeker, The Blessed, and The Gifted--and The Heart of Hollyhill series. She lives with her husband a mile from where she was born in rural Kentucky. Learn more at www.annhgabhart.com.
My Thoughts:
Welcome back to Rosey Corner. The War is over and the guys are coming home. Ann takes us right into the middle of all of the emotions of returning soldiers. Their families are thrilled to have them home, yet the guys that left are not the same ones returning and so the dreams they had when they left have changed too.
As a navy brat and navy wife, I appreciated the realism of how war affects families. I found the spiritual theme to be perfect not over done.
Great summer read!
