Anchor in the Storm (Revell, May 2016)
One plucky female pharmacist + one high-society naval officer = romance-and danger
For plucky Lillian Avery, America's entry into World War II means a chance to prove herself as a pharmacist in Boston. The challenges of her new job energize her. But society boy Ensign Archer Vandenberg's attentions only annoy---even if he is her brother's best friend.
During the darkest days of the war, Arch's destroyer hunts German U-boats in vain as the submarines sink dozens of merchant ships along the East Coast. Still shaken by battles at sea, Arch notices his men also struggle with their nerves---and with drowsiness. Could there be a link to the large prescriptions for sedatives Lillian has filled? The two work together to answer that question, but can Arch ever earn Lillian's trust and affection?
Sarah Sundin brings World War II to life, offering readers an intense experience they won't soon forget.

My Thoughts~
Mystery, and romance on the high seas is what you will find when you read Sarah's new book, Anchor in the Storm. Arch and Lillian are the stars of this book, Lillian who is determined to stand on her own two feet and not be a burden to anyone, and Arch who wants to make his own way and not rely on his family's money to get him where he wants to be. Hebrews 6:19
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. Is the theme throughout the book, allowing God to be the anchor for our souls.
I was hooked from the first page and enjoyed every page until the end. This is book two in the Waves of Freedom series. What I love about Sarah's writing is her ability to weave scriptural truths into the story without it being preachy. She uses real life scenarios that are believable and able to relate to. This book has everything and I guarantee you will enjoy this book!
Highly recommended!!
