“Book Review Friday”

 

It’s November. It’s cold. It’s time to curl up on the sofa with another good book.

Today’s book recommendation is another beautifully written story set during World War II time period. When I began this book I could not put it down. I fell in love with the characters and the sweet story that protruded from its pages.

Author, Cara Putman tells the beautiful tale of two individuals on two life journeys whose paths cross in her first book in the Cornhusker Dreams series, Canteen Dreams…

 
 

In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, Audrey Stone wants to help in the war effort. But what's a young schoolteacher from Nebraska to do? When her community starts a canteen at the train station, Audrey finds her place. She spends nearly every spare moment there, offering food and kindness to the soldiers passing through. Despite her busyness, Audrey does allow some time to get to know a handsome rancher. Willard Johnson worries about his brother who joined the navy to get off the ranch and see the world. When Willard's worst fear is confirmed, he feels he must avenge by enlisting himself. But will his budding relationship with Audrey weather the storms of war? Or will one of the many soldiers at the canteen steal her away from him?

I’m sure you will find this story warm and cozy, and your heart will ache for these two characters. If you love Audrey and Willard’s story, you will want to purchase the next two books in the series, Sandhill Dreams and Captive Dreams. Or you can buy all three! Look for “Cornhusker Dreams”.

Cara has written 15 books with plans of releasing more! She not only writes historicals, but Suspense, Romantic Suspense and more. Check out her website to learn about this amazing author at www.caraputman.com and leave a comment on her blog!

Chit-Chat Tuesday: Now That the Honeymoon Is Over . . . A Valentine's Day Tradition

So let's do it . . . let's talk Valentine's Day. My husband and I are not big fans of Valentine's Day. Why? Well, we feel every day should be a day to love your spouse , to do kind things for them, and so on. We practice this as a couple...actually, maybe 'practice' isn't the right word--it's now something we just do for each other. I'll never forget walking into church that one Sunday morning after getting back from our honeymoon. Several couples made their way to us saying something to the effect of, "Welcome back! Now that the honeymoon is over, real life begins ," and "This honeymoon won't last ." I remember walking away and glancing at my new husband. He returned my same awkward smile and furrowed brow expression. Later, in the privacy of our car ride home, we shared what we thought of those comments. And what we shared that day became our standard for the future of our marriage . Negative comments and words of utt

Chit-Chat Tuesday: An Honest Message to Single Women

Originally this post was supposed to be a simple Facebook posting; just a thought that came to me after my quiet time with God. But then it morphed into a full length, too-long-to-write-on-Facebook type article. I'm not sure how many single women follow my pages or read my books. However, I felt the Lord put these words on my heart to share with them.  Dating Yes, that's the topic I want to talk about today.  Dating is one of those life curves that is loved or loathed. My opinion on the matter is I believe it's all in how well your life is rooted and grounded in the Lord. It's not something to stress over as long as your faith is rooted deep in the Word of God. Over the years countless single women have approached me with the same question, "How did you know that Chris was THE ONE?" My reply was a simple one, saying something to the effect of, "It's an overwhelming sense of peace and calm. I just knew." Now I realize how vague that reply

Book Review Friday: Sarah Sundin, A Distant Melody

Image
1 Corinthians 13:4 "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up." Sarah Sundin's debut novel, A Distant Melody, is a must read!! I cannot stress it enough. Both men and women will be drawn into this beautifully written story page after page. Never pretty enough to please her gorgeous mother, Allie will do anything to gain her approval--even marry a man she doesn't love. Lt. Walter Novak--fearless in the cockpit but hopeless with women--takes his last furlough at home in California before being shipped overseas. Walt and Allie meet at a wedding and their love of music draws them together, prompting them to begin a correspondence that will change their lives. As letters fly between Walt's muddy bomber base in England and Allie's mansion in an orange grove, their friendship binds them together. But can they untangle the secrets, commitments, and expectations that keep them apart?
