From the Publisher:
How long can two people stand on the brink of love without plunging in headfirst?
In the autumn of 1941, rumors of war whisper through Rosey Corner. The town practically vibrates with apprehension, as if it is holding its breath. But for Kate Merritt, it seems life is letting out a prolonged sigh. As Kate watches her sister marry the man Kate has loved since she was fifteen, her heart is silently breaking. And even the attentions of Jay Tanner, the handsome best man, can't draw her interest.
Then suddenly, Pearl Harbor changes everything and Kate finds herself drawn to Jay in surprising ways. Could she truly be in love with him? And if he enlists, will she ever see him again?
In her gentle and textured style, Ann H. Gabhart tells a timeless story of love, sacrifice, and longing that will grip your heart and stir your spirit. Fans of Gabhart's Angel Sister will love seeing Kate Merritt all grown-up, as well as other characters they have come to love.
My Review:
This was such a pleasant read. I enjoyed Gabhart's Angel Sister, so it was nice to return to Rosey Corner, Kentucky and get reacquainted with the Merritt family.
Kate Merritt is the central figure in this historical fiction, and she is a spunky, likable young woman. When Jay Tanner comes to town, she tries to resist his charm but can't seem to get him off her mind. Many ups and downs occur, and along the way Gabhart tackles real-life topics such as alcoholism and parental abandonment. In addition, Rosey Corner is filled with interesting and quirky characters that represent the trials and blessings of life in a small town. It's all woven together in a charming story that is perfect for a slow summer read.
