Love Comes Home

By Ann H. Gabhart
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.
ISLAND BREEZES
WWII kept their men away much too long. Now the sisters are waiting for the men to come home. Rosey Corner will be seeing both sorrow and joy.
The war changes people and places. Those who were fortunate enough to come home still have to deal with nightmares and lots of adjustments. So, too, the wives have to adjust to leaving the workplace and settling in as wives and mothers.
Then there are widows and fatherless children who face being alone.
How I’ve enjoyed going back to Rosey Corner and see life continuing on there. I will miss these sisters, Fern, Aunt Hattie, Graham and the gang.
This was a bittersweet book. I enjoyed it, but am sad that it’s the last Rosey Corner book. It’s a great stand alone read, but you’ll get much more out of it if you read Angel Sister and Small Town Girl first.
You’re going to need that box of tissues – maybe even the entire box before you’re through reading.
Thank you, Ms Gabhart, for your enjoyable books that take me traveling. I’ve fallen in love with all of Hollyhill, and now Rosey Corner. Where are you taking me next?
