My Review:
I always enjoy reading stories that are set in the World War II era. Each of these stories has its own unique look at different American situations during that time, and each “heroine” has her own role to play in the war effort. These ladies had their own special way of showing courage, faith, and determination in the most difficult of times.
The authors have done a good job explaining their research into these stories and I learned new things about each setting. Because these stories are somewhat shorter than a regular novel, the action in the storylines are more compressed. There were a couple of the endings that seemed a little abrupt, but that didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story. The romances are sweet and tender and the songs from that era seemed to take on a special meaning in each story.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
